160 books on must-read list for boys

A list of the top 160 books for teenage boys has been published by England’s Education Secretary in an ambitious attempt to encourage boys to read more for pleasure and keep up with girls at secondary school. The list has gained as much attention over the authors who have been left off (no Dickens, no J.K. Rowling) as over those who are included. Read more about the list, and see all of the titles, in this article from The Times of London.
