Awesome, we read Fahrenheit 451 every year and most kids cannot draw the parallels. We read it early in the year, so we can figure out who our brighter kids are.

He read that one as well.

We had a long discussion of why I keep books (including old textbooks and books I bought for college way back when) since "you can read them online." It did not take long for him to figure out that online content can be easily manipulated (Huck Finn is the best example in Literature).
