In this book, I have maintained the thread of reflection which I have had in the pleasure of reading and what I have learnt in the field of literature since I started writing. Here is what we have contemplated over the years in conversations about books with students and young people; what and how we read, what the readings suggested. Rarely do books about reading feature the opinions of young readers. The innovation of this work, structured in 17 chapters, is an example of the concerns, opinions and considerations which reading creates amongst young readers, teenagers. No book is too difficult if read as a group empathetically, if the propositions and profound convictions of books are understood together. The readings and the reflective discussions which follow train readers not only to give critical opinions but also how to talk in public, address memory writing and develop creative writing too.
