I pay my 12-year-old adopted kid $1 for every page of a book he reads, and I give him a list of books (based on my preferences) to choose from. The list includes: Animal Farm (Orwell) – the one he chose this month and loved The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger) The Book Thief The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas Candide (Voltaire) Brave New World (Huxley) 1984 (Orwell) Does anyone have GOOD recommendations?
