Guys Write for Guys Read edited by Jon Scieszka

This is an awesome book for guys and girls who want to find out more about a favorite author. It also has wonderful (often funny) stories about when the authors were young. Although I started to read this book cover to cover, I realized I really wanted to read about the authors I recognized. When I had those authors read, I went back to read the others. I will also admit I loved the “random fact for each author.” One author actually makes money playing a kazoo. Another author ran away from home in his teens to live with the carnival.

If You are looking for short funny excerpts about boys this is the place. This is also a great resource if you are looking for a book. Read about each author. Then read his books. Each author has a bibliography (list of books) at the end of his excerpt. Guys Read is also a great book if you just want to read a little at a time. Each author’s excerpt is only a couple of pages. Once you read this book, you’ll know what book you want to read next!
