Reading List 2009

I have so many reading lists: Sonlight, Veritas Press, Ambleside,... among others. I don't want the boys to miss out on all the good books. So I have all these lists strewn about my desk and somewhere in my mind. But sometimes, too much of a good thing leads to nothing, which has been the case in our household (well, we have a toddler as well, and reading out loud is.... well, you know what I mean). So, instead of trying to go through one list at a time, or trying to compile my own complete list, I've decided to pick books from here and there that would interest B (or whatever we have on hand). And I'm going to attempt to list them here for future reference. So, here goes. I will add to the list as we read through the books.
