About this listen
In this episode, we delve into the topic of required reading in schools and examine the content of books that kids are required to read. We discuss the difficulties that young readers face today as some of the books they are taught are at the threat of being banned or are simply outdated and are not engaging to new readers. Troy and Ivan each pick 2 books that we, in a perfect world, would like to see taught in schools as they have strengths that we believe would captivate the minds of more young readers, more so than books in the current curricula.
Ivan's picks: 1,. The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian by Sherman Alexie2. The Moon Down to Earth by James Nulick
Troy's picks:1. Beloved by Toni Morrison2. Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson
