Roger Sutton is the current editor for the acclaimed children/teen book review publication Horn Book. In 2007, he offered a great lecture at UIUC on the topic of recreational and informational reading for teenagers. He outlined that maybe sometimes adults misunderstand the reading interests of teens and what actually makes one become an avid, life-long reader from this age on. Below is a link to the audio version of the lecture (much preferred, as he is a great speaker). The transcription is included in Horn Book May/June 2007.
