160 bøger til drengene

Et britisk projekt sætter fokus på drenges tendens til at læse mindre end pigerne. I den forbindelse er der blevet udarbejdet en liste over 160 bøger, som forhåbentlig kan friste:

The list contains no Dickens and no J. K. Rowling, but Philip Pullman, Anthony Horowitz, Robert Muchamore, Terry Pratchett and Darren Shan all feature in a list that is full of gritty, fighting, spying, fantastical, bloodthirsty and sporty working-class heroes from authors past and present.

There is an inevitable sprinkling of Japanese manga and other graphic novels for the arty, while for boys who prefer data to derring-do there are books of lists, trivia and facts.

Måske listen også kan tjene til inspiration blandt danske drenge?
