Thanks for sharing that about your sons. Very similar experience with our boys - the first one Charles loved being ready to at bedtime. I read him the complete LOTR. His mom read him The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe, and the complete Harry Potter series. His brother Ian preferred more spontaneity, so I “invented” a long-running series on The World’s Greatest Mountain Man and spun a stream of consciousness episode every night. My summer reading list includes Soul of an Octopus by Sy Montgomery and Plain, Honest Men by Richard Beeman. And on your recommendation I am now going to finally tackle The Once And Future King.

EDIT: Put away Soul Of An Octopus for now. Just purchased Sword In The Stone on eBay, so that one’s gonna be next.
