Lylah Please add the return the "middle guys" and "older guys" categories to the site. It helps grownups sift through it all.

Ann Your books have consistently been high on my list of "must reads" to any child within reach who wants to hear or read a great book. I love your "Guys Read" initiative. I wish we could have an initiative started called "AMERICANS READ," or "People Who Live in America Read..." Alert the President and his lovely first ...Lady--and Oprah, of course. Get busy, Jon (and Lane Smith, too!)

Pat Forcier Horray for Flint. We have produced so many famous people,especially those that honor children. Do you remember a baby sitter you had that was a teacher friend of your parents at Freeman named Sallie Johnson? She sends her best wishes from Arizona.

Laura Cannon I really enjoyed meeting you at the Texas Book Festival in Austin yesterday--you are definitely one of my favorite authors. I know my third graders will be impressed that I got to meet you and have a picture to prove it!

Kevin Moore

Kevin Moore Hi fellow guys-readers ... I'm a librarian in London, Ontario. I'm putting together a lsit of great novels for guys aged roughly 8 and up. I've got lots so far, but am wondering if anyone's got a personal favourite ... maybe a hidden gem out there that deserves some recognition? Thanks!

Alexa Jon,
I am designing working on a community project I've tentatively called "Motivating Teenage Boys to Become Lifelong Readers: a Title IX Initiative for Boys Reading". I have 2 young adult boys who happily are reading but they didn't do much of that in high school. This has now become a passion for me and your work is ...key to my education on this. I am wondering if you or anyone at Guys Read can provide me with permission to use any video links you may have - I just need 30 seconds or so of your words of wisdom or fo course humor (!) to capture their attention - this component will be an independent reading program "announcement". Many thanks for your unbelievable work and any help you can give me.
