Thomas has read so many books this year, he says he can't remember them all by name as there are so many. I make him read every day, and while I know what he's reading while he's reading it, and I usually write it down, I agree, I can't name them either. I know he read Lord of the Flies and he loved it.
I want him to plug away at this list a little bit, because there are some good books on this. I was really sad to see he had read so few on our list! Time to make up for that.

He's reading and he's still young. Don't fret the details yet.
The Hobbit is a big hit here.
Notice you have The Outsiders on your list -- that was my favorite book when I was in 7th grade. I read it so many times that my book fell apart.
the GA peach ;-)
I loved those books too.
I hope T enjoys them all as well.
Christopher wants to read The Lord Of The Flies! I will have to show him Thomas's list!
