So tell me.
Teens: What are YOU reading?
Teen Read Week begins tomorrow, October 17, and it runs through next Saturday, October 23, when I will be speaking, and offering an unfortunate smattering of performance art, at the Southern California Independent Bookseller's Association's Authors Feast and Trade Show.
I know. That's a really long title for an event.
And I will be speaking about teens and what they read, believe it or not. It's an easy talk, since I know hundreds of teens and work with them in vast drooling quantities on a daily basis.
And I've prepared a little flow-chart organizational graphic to prepare the participants at next week's event for what to expect:

Apparently I am interviewing Weird Al Yankovich.
Nope. No idea why. I just do what I'm told.
It is going to be a classic day. Expect to be You-Tubed, dude.
Last year at Christmas I gave my 14-year-old nephew A DANGEROUS BOOK FOR BOYS. (This kid hates to read--he says it gives him physical pain. Ergo, he's been flunking language arts for years. He does like the Sports Illustrated subscription I give him; I don't tell him it counts as reading.) A couple of days after Xmas I got a phone call from him (the first ever) raving about the book. He couldn't put it down. It was funny. It had interesting stuff in it. He'd been typing out paragraphs onto Facebook. I put down the phone and cried.

And this, Anne, is a great kick-off point to Teen Read Week.
