Abstract
Nowadays young generation lives more different way of life than the young generation before twenty and more years ago. When many new technical things came to occupy young people, there is less time for reading books. With this research we wonted to show what young people are reading and which authors are their favorite, which is the way that they choose books and later how they discuss about this books. As the basic thing for this research we took the questioner that has been made in ten Croatian libraries at summary holiday's time when the readers are reading without any obligations. The results has shown that the favorite books are those that take great part of the media (Harry Potter, Twilight, Lord of the rings, We Children from the Zoo Station), and the favorite authors are J. K. Rowling, R. L. Stine and J. R. R. Tolkien. The influence of advertisements on the decision which book to read, through this research has been shown as indirect, so the responsibility for the right way of reading and choosing books is on the teachers and librarians.
