Young Adult Reading Preferences

I interviewed three males and two females between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. I found that most of the students I interviewed would rather read a novel than an informational book.  Some of their favorite authors were Nicholas Sparks, J.K. Rowlings, Ayn Rand, and Susanne Collins. Treasue Island, The Last Song, The End (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 13), and Anthem  were listed as some of the best books they had read. Most of the students chose Facebook as their preferred Internet reading site.  Technology, mythology, modern warfare, historical fiction, adventure, and sports were some of topics they would like to read about.  The student responses were as different as the personalities of each student.
