My husband is though and recommends "The Wheel of Time" Series by Robert Jordon and now Brandon Sanderson. He also loves "Dune" by Frank Herbert. I'm not sure he is quiet old enough for "Dune" yet. I'd leave that to you to decide. It's more of a science fiction. I'd let my thirteen year old, but when I was thirteen I read V.C.Andrews religiously. Those would be more for your son. I think that its more the romance that people like about "Twilight." In which case I'd recommend V.C. Andrews, but I think most people would disagree with that. Anyway, a quick google search gave me this. Quite a few suggestions in this. http://www.fanpop.com/spots/books-to-read/answers/show/15050/does-any-one-now-any-good-fantasy-romance-books-besides-twilight-because-ive-already-read I’m not really into fantasy novels, but I did enjoy the Harry Potter series.

And if we ever figure out what I'm doing -- do I give up on the academic career, how many years do I keep trying, whatever, then maybe we can open up our family to more adults.

Young Garion gets involved with a strange quest, that most certainly will change his life forever. Most libraries and bookstores should have them. Also, Piers Anthony's Xanth series (about 30? books now). They are based in the magical kingdom of Xanth, the land of PUNS, inter-related, but independent of each other. It is easier to read them in order, but not absolutely necessary. An older series that *I* read as a teenager is Roger Zelazny's Chronicles of Amber series (again, 5-books w/a 5-book sequel). Amber is the only True world, all other worlds, including our own, are simply Shadows of it. My son is 17 and has devoured the Xanth series, enjoyed the Belgariad, and argued with the Amber books (he actually caught a couple of logic flaws, but they weren't really horrible). My son has also read all the HP books, the Hobbit, Artemis Fowl, and the Eragon series. There are a few others I know he is following. Feel free to shout back!

There are a lot of terrible issues in the world and things people need to be spending time and energy working against, war and hunger for example. This just shouldn't be on that list.

Even my mom has lost friends over being accepting of us. The harder stuff is when jobs and custody of children are lost. We have had experiences with both.
