1. I believe the author has published More Dangerous Books for Boys because generally males prefer more hands-on activities, and these books seem to be more appealing and involve the reader more so than other books.
2. I believe that, "Readers are the leaders others follow" means that people that read learn more, and that they learn most efficiently and learn the most.
3. I believe teachers, young males and parents interested in their child reading would read this blog. This is because these books are published for young male audience.
4-5. I read 'More Dangerous Books for Boys,' it was advertising some books that the author had written to advertise books for young boys, this is usually because more young males prefer to play sport or video games, over reading.
6. The most appealing part of this blog entry was, "Some of the aspects being promoted about the book include how to tie various knots, to make paper airplanes, or even to build a sort of go-kart," this is because I feel that there's a lack of 'hands-on' books with do it yourself parts.
7. I did not feel obliged to leave a comment, as the author would most likely not have the time to respond, and those sorts of books did not really appeal to me - I believe a younger audience would find them more appealing.

Hey ben,
I must say that i did not really feel inclined to comment, but seeming that no one else had made one to this entry i thought i could. . .
Well, your blog has good and bad sides, but more good than bad...if that makes sense. One thing i thought was good was your grammar and spelling, but i though you should make your blog more interesting for the reader. Maybe include some humour? Good presentation, i like it.
In response to your entry about your book selecting methods, if you find that recomendations from friends doesn't work for i would recomend reading reviews in the paper or internet. This might be more successful for you.
Other than this, i think your blog is a job well done. Good effort.
