Homeschool literature question:The kids loved reading Animal Farm together. What next?Fahrenheit 451?1984??Specialist question:What’s a good first play to read with kids? Preferably with three parts so we can read with each in character.

@Andre Fahrenheit 451. Book burning had to happen before the period where 1984 picks up.

@Andre I'd take a break from distopians, for a while...If you haven't, get the complete works of Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet to start...As a kid, (10? 11?) I started reading Dr. Eliot's Five Foot Shelf, with the help of my Gramps.https://archive.org/details/harvardclassics?tab=aboutWish I still had them.

@Andre When I was 11 or 12, I really enjoyed Alexander Dumas. Three Musketeers and Count of Monte Cristo. Drama, action, moral dilemma.

@Andre When my son was 12 he read Rich Dad Poor Dad... It totally changed his perspective on school and investing. It also made him question some of our parental edicts too... After all he was only 12... lol

@Andre Here is a nice list. Memoria Press, a classical curriculum, their motto is “saving Western Civilization one student at a time.Anyhow we use a few of their things and a lot of their literature. They break it down by “essential boys (and girls) reading list” https://www.memoriapress.com/martins-essential-boys-books-list/https://www.memoriapress.com/essential-girls-books-list/

@Andre Since you mentioned Bradbury, I always found the The Martian Chronicles to be a book (collection, really) of almost unimaginable beauty and poignancy.
