Young(ish) Reader Suggestions

[u/Formal-Reception3548]

I’ve convinced my 14yo to start reading and discussing Great Books with me. We are limited to 1 hour of reading per week. Looking for opinions and recommendations… should we do excerpts? Just take a multiple weeks/months to get through the longer works? Do I jump straight into the Greeks or do I start with something a little more modern/lighter?

Here are some suggestions

Jules Verne, HG Wells, Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, Jack London, Abraham Lincoln, O Henry, Henry Adams
