A father answering here. As your children get older, they can discuss things with you at an adult level, and reading material you select for them may interest you as well. Since my 10yo is an avid programmer who wants an Apple computer (maybe this summer), I bought the biography of Steve Jobs by Isaacson. We both read it and have discussed it, and now we are both reading a biography of Bill Gates by Manes and Andrews.
