(2008-03-27) Ipulp For Boys

PeterKerryPowers on whether the free I Pulp EBook collection is a good thing for Reading And Writing by boys. He quotes a study saying that girls are doing more reading/posting online than boys.

Hmm, not much content there anyway. But they do have Enders Game which is great to have free. Well, it's the original novelette that he later expanded into the book. Orson Scott Card has a few of his "stories" free on his site: the Enders Game link points to I Pulp.

An older post of his "notes": the enlisting of Jon Scieszka as the LibraryOfCongress' "first National Ambassador for Young People's Literature", and notes that Scieszka has a "GuysRead" site to promote Kids Books for guys.
