Ian, you are very lucky - it's usually much harder to get boys to read. What a pleasure it must be for you. At 16 I was totally in love with books - then I discovered boys who also loved reading, and that was a revelation. Unfortunately it was downhill from there, and my husband refuses to read anything unless it's a matter of life, death or pensions.

His appetite for books is massive and he'll therefore read whatever ends up in front of him. My 16 year old daughter, on the other hand, reads hardly anything at all. she had a Kindle Fire for Christmas and uses it mainly for Youtube and iPlyer. I think the choices for consuming content of all kinds, including reading, is astounding now.
