…《哈利·波特》系列，以及属于那个类型的其他很多书。随着年龄增长，他们也会读一些“经典”文学作品，比如《雾都孤儿》或《汤姆·索亚历险记》。我的两个儿子特别喜欢《布鲁克林有棵树》（我从没读过），而我非常喜欢恰姆·波托克（Chaim Potok）的《被选召的人》（The Chosen，我几年前重读过，依然觉得非常棒）。
…the Harry Potter series, and other books much in that genre category. They also read "classic" literature as they get older, for example Oliver Twist or Tom Sawyer. Two of my sons have really liked A Tree Grows in Brooklyn (which I have never read) and I really liked The Chosen by Chaim Potok (which I reread a few years ago, and still thought was very good).

小说类：1）贝蒂·史密斯的《布鲁克林有棵树》。可能稍微有点偏感伤煽情，但读起来依然非常舒服。这书显然是二战时期的经典，但我之前从没听说过。2）石黑一雄的《浮世画家》。也许……
Fiction: 1) Betty Smith "A tree grows in Brooklyn". Maybe a bit too sentimental, but still very pleasant to read. Apparently this book was a WWII classic, but I never heard about it before. 2) Kazuo Ishiguro "An artist of the floating world". Maybe,…
