Guys Read
Posted by: Ann Pechacek

Contrary to popular belief, GUYS DO READ, though some studies show that guys score worse on reading tests then girls. Why?? Many of the books assigned in school don't appeal to guys. Author Jon Scieszka is on a mission to motivate guys to read and has developed a wonderful website to let guys know there are some great books being published. Do you want to start a Guys Read book group? The website has suggestions on how to begin a great guys read group. Need a suggestion on a great title to pick up from the library? The website has book suggestions from favorite male authors and also a "book of the month".

Yeah, I read. I've read probably over 20 books since the beginning of summer. Anyone who thinks guys don't read is wrong.
