Hail Caesar, Twisted, Shark Life, Pieces to Weight, Tyrell, Black and White, Paranoid Park, The Rules of Survival, Born to Rock, Inexcusable, King Dork. all books that you would enjoy as well as 12th grade males. (and since you are working in your high school library ... you do plan to become a librarian, right?) for more, look through this list: http://www.ala.org/ala/yalsa/booklistsaw...
this book is an excellent example of why adults should read children's nonfiction.
I'm totally stealing faves from others posts for my first few, but here's my list: On Writing by Stephen King is definitely up there, Maus I and II, Running with Scissors, Girl Interrupted and Stone Butch Blues.
long ago. twas good is all l remember.
I'd try to hook him on a series... goosebumps is forever popular. Lemony Snickett is great for humor and really any graphic novel series is going to be a great way to gain a hungry thirst for more. manga is particularly popular with video game fans. one more suggestion, have the librarian help him browse the children's nonfiction and choose stuff based on his interests. also, why not let him feed into his video game interest by reading nonfiction and magazines on that topic? your local children's librarian can help you find stuff on gaming that is age appropriate.
good luck!!!
alas, it's still misplaced and I really just want to get back in bed to read it right now. might be in my locker at work. or mixed in with my stacks of books here. hmmmm.
good story. I got to sit next to MT Anderson during a YA author breakfast and it was very obvious that he's antisocial. and I hadn't read Octavian Nothing and so I wasn't able to contribute to the conversation much.
I liked I am the Messenger more than Book Thief. so how did you get to grope him?
loved that twist at the end. totally not predictable!!!
you groped his shoulder? have you read I am the Messenger? I LOVE that one. can't wait for more from him...
wish he'd write another work of fiction already!!
awesome review!!! I always buy the red edition at used book stores so that I have ample copies to give away.
I recommended LAWKI to Nia. don't you think she'd like it?
yeah, I just finished listening to Life As We Knew It -- sooooo good. I'll send you the arc.
cute cover too.
I'm still reading it (misplaced it for now) but yes it's an arc and I'll mail it to you if you want.
you gotta read What's Michael. it's LOLcats mixed with manga in a very delightful way.
but as for true manga, yeah I struggle too. I like some more than most but all-in-all I want to like it much more than I actually do.
you should read more YA books -- you'd find that they are full of bjs.
is it from a series?
exactly. I want to give him a hug. but I know it would revolt him.
