Napoleon Hill would be a very beneficial read for school kids. Shame it's not a set text. I've had the book bug for a long time now and have to enforce a strict discipline on myself whereby I'm only allowed to buy a new book in physical format once I've finished one and given it away. Tough going but necessary!
Definitely! Amen to that. Perfect addition to an 8th graders collection, or someone older.
I say that's a good approach. It helps you finish a book quicker as you eagerly wait for the next one, while also giving it away means another avid reader gets access to a new book.
