Looking for something at or above 12th grade level that is considered a classic and has minimal sexual content. We just tried 100 Years of Solitude and Chapter 2 was too weird to read together. Here's a list of books/plays we've read in the past that I think he enjoyed:
- Lord of the Flies
- The Great Gatsby
- Othello
- Macbeth
- Fahrenheit 451
- 1984
- Death of a Salesman
- To Kill a Mockingbird
- Catcher in the Rye
- Slaughterhouse Five
The more suggestions the better! Thank you 🙂
