I compare it to feeding them - they need a variety. Keeps the love alive. And minds need rest too, so the fun books are great. For example, N15 finished Atlas Shrugged and then read one of the HP books AGAIN. I am so happy your children (and mine) LOVE books. That is the key to a GREAT education. “Ah, we need to get them back to reading “real” books soon. . .”

(I got it on sale from CEP -- it's published by P&R.) The boys each got one of the books for Christmas. R10 had asked for more fantasy/adventure books and so we obliged! Hubby saw this list and said, "Ah, we need to get them back to reading "real" books soon. . ." But they do.
