A friend shared this intriguing list from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation yesterday... I think I'll need to check out a couple of the titles to add to my own list, such as How to be an Everyday Philanthropist, and Design Revolution: 100 Products that Empower People. I must say I've never come across Toilets of the World (from the 5th grade list) in a local bookshop, but it could be just the thing to engage a reluctant reader.
Take a peek and see if any of the titles appeal to the readers in your home:
