I was twelve when I read TT, so I think I'm in the same category--these books are some of my oldest favorites.

I agree the ending of the interview was less about MWT's books and more about e-publishing, which was weird. But I liked Megan's remark that it sends a different message seeing an adult holding a book than seeing them reading a screen, even if they might be reading a book on that screen. That was a good point and I agree that it would be a sad loss if physical books ever became so rare that kids didn't get to see that.
