| Summary: | The article examines the preferences of teenagers in reading. There are a number of reasons why the status of the teenager has been allowed to rise over the years and the Internet is a major contributing factor. The box office success of recent comic book movie adaptations such as "Sin City" and "Fantastic Four" has also highlighted the fact that nerdy activities are spreading to a wider audience. New book Men of Tomorrow: Geeks, Gangsters and the Birth of the Comic Book by Gerard Jones explores the inside story of the comic super-heroes, who so often represent life's underdogs. Perhaps the best testament to the coolness of teenagers is new book Geek Chic: The Ultimate Guide to Geek Culture by Neil Feineman.
