I dont want to turn this into a discussion about politics, but I would have them read Lord of the Flies or other such books as well to show the consequences of absolutely no regulation. There should be a healthy balance so they can make a choice for themselves. absolutely. Possibly V for Vendetta at some point, but that is really a late-teenager, post highschool text. So much subtlety and reference. I think the Harry Potter books are, amusingly, actually the best political series for young people out there. Rowling does an amazing job of balancing the pros and cons of no regulation (crazy shit happening everywhere, bad guys taking over, extortion etc) and over-regulation (the ministry during voldemort's ascendancy). It's a very powerful progression in the books, from a coddling- pro-authority view in the first 3 books, to a very questioning, anti authoritarian, independant feel in the later ones. Very much a coming of age philosophically as well as physically. | ||

Alice in Wonderland for the early early age. Dune is truly amazing, although the vocabulary is defenitly more 15+. | ||

Lord of the Flies Fahrenheit 451 Harry Potter series His Dark Materials Redwall BFG (big friendly giant) All of Michael Crichton's books (Timeline, Jurassic park, Sphere, Prey, Congo) Lord of the Rings series (it's just sad that most of the younger generations will have watched the movies before reading the books, I will definitely stop my kids from doing that.) | ||

Lord of the Rings Two of my favorite series/books. I usually read war, certain books on politics(Ron Paul for example)... dont think I would recommend that for children. | ||

I would probably want my children go through the same stuff, more or less. I think Dickens' Hard Times would make for good bedtime stories. | ||
