What boys are reading

The Portland Press Herald has been running an interesting series about boys and academics, the "new gender gap" in education. This link includes most of the articles and a top 10 book list of what middle school boys are reading. Fantasy rates often on the list and a book of poems written by teenage boys is second on to the top spot. And, why am I not surprised, the Simpsons. Don't have a cow, dude.
