Lucas's Book List

I've decided to make a list of all the books I'd like to get Lucas at some point in his younger years. I came up with the idea last night while reading Fantastic Mr. Fox by Roald Dahl. That's one of my favorite books from growing up, and I figured it would be cool to expose him to some of the novels/short stories that helped warp me into the weirdo I am today.

This post is likely to be updated frequently so I'm going to link to it from the right side of the screen over there under his photo album link. Wow, that was a lot of prepositional phrases in a row. Good thing no one checks your grammar online. Feel free to leave book suggestions in the comments since I plan to read Lucas a bunch of books before he thinks it's not cool anymore. :)

FYI, I know he's still way too young for most of these books, but you can never start thinking about them too early.
