I DO consider keeping up with YA novels etc. the best part of my job. 
But - the sheer volume of reading is impossible.  so - like Marsha, I
read the ones I think I will enjoy - plus as many as possible of the
books that are getting a lot of "press". Asking the kids about the books
they read is a great way of getting conversations going with kids AND
learning about the books and what is especially popular.  I would say
that - on average - I only read about one YA book a month.  But I am
constantly reading about YA books - so that helps me keep up.

I would be interested to know how HS librarians feel about this. It is
not 
as much of a perk when you are trying to keep up with 200 plus page
novels. 
(I am a slow, deliberate reader.) And I still can't bring myself to
read 
some of the popular ones like Cirque du Freak. With the little time I
have, 
I at least want to read the ones I think I will enjoy. Sometimes I have
to 
settle for the first couple chapters. And sometimes I just ask the kids
that 
have read them.

Wouldn't it be wonderful if we had time to read during the workday!
No, I take piles of books home to read, especially if I plan to book 
talk 
them or read them aloud to students, or if I have a question  about who
is 
the right audience.  Fortunately, I consider it a perk  of the job!
