Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience
and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on
earth. I believe ... that for someone who has read a lot of Dickens to
shoot his like in the name of an idea is harder than for someone who has
read no Dickens.

          -Joseph Brodsky, poet, Nobel laureate (1940-1996)

Publibers,

 

anyone know of titles and/or publishers for adults who read on a 3rd-6th
grade level?  This is what we've tried:

 

--Juvenile and YA books/audio books (kids themes mostly);

--graphic novels (including Fruits Basket series);

--any other ideas????

 

Thanks,

Belinda Mason
