The best books for teenagers according to the editors of Lifehacker

We decided to find out what the Lifehacker team read as teenagers. They called both "Harry Potter", and "Lord of the Rings", and other aforementioned works. But there were a few books not mentioned in the top ten of any of the lists.

I read the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. There are thousands of thousands of unfamiliar interesting words, and I, being small, sat in the toilet, simply opened it on any page and read, read, read, learning new terms and definitions. Informative.

One of the books that most influenced me as a teenager was Lermontov's novel A Hero of Our Time. Love, passion, nature, philosophy of nihilism - what else is needed for a teenager? :) Here it is, fertile ground for youthful maximalism. The work made me think about my place in this world, about the essence of being and all that, eternal.

At the age of 12-13, I read the book "The Mysterious Island". At this time, I was generally fond of the books of Jules Verne, full of adventures and surprises. Mentally, together with the heroes, he overcame difficulties and traveled. "Mysterious Island" taught that even in the most hopeless situation, you should not give up. You need to dream, believe, and most importantly - do.

What did you read when you were 10-19 years old? What book will you definitely buy your kids when they are that age? What do you think is a must-read for Generation Z?

If you do not think about what you read and how you read, then reading can become not only useful, but also harmful. This is especially true for teenagers, most of whom now do not read at all.

Of course, readers, especially teenagers, should not fill their heads with unnecessary and poorly understood information. The task of reading books for teenagers assumes that what they read will be assimilated and further developed.

In contact with

classmates

In order for reading to bring joy and benefit, you must follow some recommendations:

• take from the book all that it can give,
• vary ways of reading depending on the purpose of reading.

It is necessary to be able to understand the content of the work. Often, teenagers have problems with this, that is, the book they read remains misunderstood or misunderstood. You need the ability to focus and keep your attention on what you read. Even the most interesting book should not be read "excitedly", otherwise it will turn out that you will admire it for a week and advise everyone you know to read it. And in two or three months you will hardly remember the name of your favorite hero. And, in general, the very name of the book in memory will not immediately pop up.

The main condition for a teenager to start reading is that the book should be interesting to him. It doesn't matter if it was written by a modern author, or if the author wrote the book in the last century or the century before last. An example is Jules Verne or Alexandre Dumas, Charlotte Bronte or Ethel Lilian Voynich, or Veniamin Kaverin, Joan Rowling or Anna Gavalda.

Boys like adventure stories more, girls are more romantic and they mostly like books where there are stories about lovers.
