Note: I don't want to deal with splitting everything into genres, so I'm using the most generic genres I can: fiction and non-fiction. Not all books fall neatly into one of the categories (like religious books or philosophical books), so I'll just group them as best I can.

Zach has read The Road and some others, so he might be a good person to discuss the book with as you read. Did you know that A Wrinkle In Time is part of a series? The other books generally follow other each of Meg's siblings, if I remember right. It's been a while since I read them, but I remember enjoying them.
