14. The door into Summer by Robert Heinlein
I'm reading a lot of Heinlein mostly because Gray keeps emptying that shelf and I keep finding things while I clean up after him. Not quite a Juvie, but different tone...might be a transitional book between his Juvie years and the break made with Stranger. Basic Time travel via cold sleep. Main character is a Techer, quick read
15. Lifeways: Working with Family Questions by Gudrun Davy and Bons Voors
Waldorf parenting book. Part of the Lifeways curriculum (Lifeways is Waldorf Early Education Program). Since I still have a house full of the under 7 set, it seemed like a prudent read. An anthology of essays written by parents in the U.K. regarding different subjects. Divided into three sections, Parents Way, Family Way, Childrens Way. Definitely a good read, even though it has a dated feel to it. (Originally published in 1983) I think I'll track down the second book
Not bad. That's a book every other day. Goodness I'm glad I read fast.

That one used to come up in rec.arts.sf.written a lot, usually with some variation of this debate:
"The part where the teenage girl decides she's going to hook up with the protagonist, and then actually does after he freezes and thaws, is creepy and disturbing."
"But she's all grown up then! There's nothing wrong with it!"
"It still smacks of pedophilia."
"Well, you're just a small-minded Puritan!"
"And you approve of raping children!"
...and so on and on, long into the night.
