He hates to sit still & would rather be active.<br /><br />I love reading about other places & cultures, too. You should check out the Travel the World in Books challenge - it's very loose & easy to join in at any time (and run by a good friend of mine):<br /><br />http://momssmallvictories.com/travel-the-world-in-books-reading-challenge/<br /><br />Oh, I love audiobooks! I read twice as many books that way & always have an audio going. With my iPod now, I can listen while I walk, drive, cook, do laundry, etc. (I stick to mindless stuff!)<br /><br />SueSue Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14532098225905355332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22461753.post-86130072950211640422016-05-16T18:04:05.797-04:002016-05-16T18:04:05.797-04:00Persepolis is brilliant!

My husband and daughter read when they have time. My son reads when he's made to for school. Otherwise he'd rather be on the computer or playing sports. <br />All the books you mentioned sound good! I'm going to have to look into all of them. I'm reading a book that takes place in Jordan and I'm loving reading about the culture. I think I might have to seek out more books about cultures I know nothing about.<br />I'm really interested in the YA Free Audiobooks. I've never listened to a book, but have wondered if I'd be able to pay it enough attention to keep up with what is going on in the book. This would be a great way for me to give it a try!Careyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10835157948210866712noreply@blogger.com
