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.

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.

Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2005 10:22:05 -0500 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! On Oct 31, 2005, at 8:56 AM, AMY PALAIA wrote: >Dear LM_Net, > >Do any of you set aside "reading time" as part of your workday.
