Charlie Joe Jackson's Guide to NOT Reading

This book was very funny and engaging.  I read it to see if I should buy it for my shelves.  Unfortunately, as much as I enjoyed it, I think it belongs in a middle school library.
The main character is a boy who has never read a book and is very proud of it and wants to continue his streak.  He bribes others to read for him.  He puts more effort into NOT reading than it would take to read.  As you would imagine, it becomes a cautionary tale about the problems in this philosophy.  I enjoyed it very much.
