From the Challenge Topic Clarifications thread: Ask people within either age range for book recommendations, then pick one to read.

Use this thread to discuss progress on this challenge topic, such as:

* Ask for or provide reading suggestions
* Discuss how/why you chose the book you did for this topic
* Note how you liked the book you chose
* Anything special about the book you chose
* Learnings or things you got out of the book
* Ask for guidance on what books can "count" for this topic (don't worry, I'll monitor this thread and update the clarifications for this topic, if necessary)

Whatever you want to talk about regarding this particular challenge topic!

Great idea!! I have read or are familiar with some of these, but not all of them, so I think I found some new things to add to my to-read list!
