My son likes Pennywise because he likes the creepy clown look. So now he wants to read IT.

I won’t let him as I started reading it and wow….good but racist, homophobic, and graphic all in the first chapters…

Not sure how old your kid is, but I would certainly recommend staying away from it till he is old enough. Some very heavy scenes in that book and they don't stop till pretty much the very end.

In my book club we just finished True Grit. Fantastic story, immediate classic despite it being written in the 60's I believe. Great Western story suitable for all audiences. Moving on from that to Paradise Lost Read this about 20 years ago but barely remember a thing outside of the main storyline. Very much enjoying it again in my older age and think it will get added to my small but growing lists of favorites along side Dante's Divine Comedy.

Yup, agreed. I'm mid-40s and I think it's too heavy of a read for me but slowly going through it.

He's not getting his hands on IT until at least 12-14 years old.

Since I'm back to RTO much more often, time to take the dust off the old audiobooks and start borrowing from the library system again for the drive.
