[quote=Anonymous]Very interesting thread. Huge life-long reader here so I am scanning this with interest, although my kids are younger. One of my observations of teens/tweens today (I have many close family members in that age group) is that they are mostly engaged in multi-sensory/task activities at all moments. It makes me wonder whether some of these engrossing but slower paced novels that affected us as teens would have the same impact on current teens. I see elements of this with my younger kids and their friends - they are accustomed to the pace of books Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, and books that I loved like Henry Huggins, etc just can't capture their attentions.
