It's like pulling teeth to get him to read something new! He really enjoyed it.
This is one reason why I led off the Freeper Reading Club with Shane. Many people are not used to reading whole books so I started off with an easy read to give them confidence to read the other books. The next one, Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test is a longer book but it is a fun (and funny) read. As the confidence levels build up, I will be assigning even more challenging books. Don't worry. They will ALL be interesting reads because I won't be assigning books that I didn't read before.
