I've not read of seen the film that's currently departed the cinemas, but the John Carter series is supposed to be pretty good.
Can find them over on Project Gutenberg. |

![]() My 12 year old self loved Stephen King in particular and horror in general (I don't think I've picked up a book by him up in at least 15 years, but I've been meaning to lately) and V.C. Andrews. I also read books about mythology and folk tales, language learning books (yes, even then) and also classics such as Jane Eyre and Wuthering Heights and even some roman and greek literature in translation - I remember tearing through the Iliad very quickly. I remember reading a lot of Margaret Atwood, and being interested in biographies. I was a voracious reader, and began reading young. The Babysitters Club was my guilty pleasure back then. It still is! |

I would love a curated list of "books my kids might be interested in, because they are teenagers alive today," so they didn't have to wade through listings for countless romances (not that I'd prevent them from reading Harlequins, but they're not interested) and political thrillers--which, again, I don't object to their reading, but enjoying those takes a better understanding of modern politics than they have. I wouldn't attempt to push the kids into sticking to the list; it'd just be nice to give them a starting point. |

I understand Wells was a great Socialist. I must read more of him.
