told that he reads to much sci-fi and needed to read more historical
books. That his head was to high in the sky. My answer to that was at
least he reads 1 to 2 hours a night every night. <snip>

Carol responds:
Would he be interested in historical novels about great scientific
discoveries or in biographies written for young readers about kids who
grew up to be great inventors? Maybe you could get him interested in
the Wright brothers, for example.

At any rate, it's wonderful that he's interested in books when so many
kids his age, especially boys, are more interested in video games.
