"None of these look good!" This is a common response I get from many students when it is time for silent reading. Many of the current books are out of date, because they are books I used when I was younger. These students want to read, but they need materials that are interesting and entertaining. I believe that this set of books will help get them hooked on reading. "Do I have to stop reading?" This is what I have heard students say when they are reading an engaging book. By increasing the amount of these engaging books, I know students will want to read.
