My oldest son is in high school and l’d like him to read at least one Dickens novel before graduation. I say only one because I don’t think he’ll be able to read more than one. He is not a strong/fast reader, but he does enjoy reading, and listening to audio books. I’m not putting him down, just trying to stay real.
I’m reading David Copperfield right now and I’m not too sure this one is for him. Any suggestions? He’s not an adventurous, spontaneous or “free- spirited” kind of person. He’s more of an analytical, reserved, “man of few words”, independent and “too old for his age” kind of person.
Normally, I have him choose his lit from the stack I have preselected and I will probably do the same with these ones, but I was hoping for a suggestion or two.
Thanks.
