| | "A lot of boys aren’t too crazy about reading.
I grew up with five brothers. I taught elementary school for ten years. I’ve
been writing books for kids for fifteen years. And I think I have an idea why
boys might not like reading.
Boys often have to read books they don’t really like. They don’t get to choose
what they want to read. And what they do like to read, people sometimes tell
them is not really reading.
I think boys need to:
• Choose what they read.
• Pick from all different kinds of reading – not just school novels.
• Find out what other guys like to read.
This GUYS READ website is made to help with all of those things."

| | "One of our goals each month is to inspire you to read --- and to keep
reading. We have found that required reading lists for school --- especially
summer reading lists --- are not exactly inspiring. Thus we have created what
we think is the Ultimate Teen Reading List --- 250 titles that we think are
perfect choices for reading and discussing. Our dream is that schools will use
this list to help them make their own for summer reading, or even better,
suggest that students just read what they want from this list."
