Children of an Elder God by John Biles and Rod M.

Another review!

I liked Children of an Elder God quite a lot, but I do need to warn you about some of the content.

• Setup: Neon Genesis Evangelion with the Pseudo-Christian parts replaced with the works of  Howard Phillips Lovecraft (and successors).
• Execution: Like I said, I liked it, but it is fairly faithful to both universes, so not exactly kid friendly all the time.
• Swearing: Bad, the main characters are both teenagers and soldiers, and it is handled mostly realistically, F-Bombs are dropped infrequently, as well as D-words and S-words, both English and German.
• Violence: Again, the Cthulhu Mythos and Neon Genesis Evangelion, together, portrayed fairly faithfully, so you should not be surprised that body horror, blood, and eldritch abominations being eaten by humungous mecha abound.
• Religious/Others: Talk of eating souls, "beings" called Outer Gods, talk of cults worshiping beings of great power, talk of being possessed by some of said beings, The whole Violator incident (and its aftermath), general amorality, none of this is portrayed as being good or right, although the soul eating thing is portrayed as a necessary (or at least unavoidable) part of getting stronger in order to defend humanity.

I did like it, and it is probably less disturbing than NGE apparently got near the end, but this is based on the work that brought you Post Apocalypse Stress Disorder (my nickname for it) and eldritch mecha, so if you take offense at enough of the previously listed things, you should probably give this one a miss.
Update: Last chapter has been published, but not available from the main page.

Literature course

As I think all of my readers know, I homeschool my children.  This year, we are officially doing a literature course.  The deal is this: children have to choose a certain number of books from my list (below) plus the same number of books of their own choice.  They write a review of each book they read.  We probably discuss it (especially the Shakespeare and Chaucer) both while they're reading and after.  They also each write in a journal.  Because as best I can tell, everything needed in an English course is encompassed in the regular, practical use of English - reading, personal writing, writing for an audience.  We'll probably cover persuasive writing and presenting when we get into politics and/or social studies.
Most of the books for the younger children we get from the library; most of the books for the older children are available for free online.
The list:

Up to age 9 - pick your age from this list, then the same number of others of your own choice
Rascal the Dragon (each book in the series counts as 1)
McCormick-Mathers challenge readers (each story counts as 1)
20th century children's book treasury (each story counts as 1)
Make way for McCloskey
Any Caldecott with words
Any scriptures (one chapter counts as 1)
Other options - just ask!

Age 10+ - half your age and half your age (so 10 reads 5 and 5; 11, 5 and 6 or 6 and 5, etc )
On the revolutions of the Spheres
French for Reading
Novum Organum
Shakespeare - Sonnets
Shakespeare - Plays
Peloponnesian war
Herodotus - histories
Canterbury Tales
Any Jane Austen
Any Louisa May Alcott
Frankenstein
Dracula
The Illiad
The Odyssey
Any scriptures - one book counts as a 1 (e.g. Genesis)
Other options - just ask!
