The objective of this thesis is integrating book talks. The aim is to explore and describe which forms ofreadings of the books appear in the analyzed book talks. The content analysis is based upon soundrecordings of the book talks and the questions that provide their basis. Tengberg’s (2011) forms ofreading make up the analysis categories. Questions are: (1) Which forms of reading are expressed in thebook talks? (2) Toward which forms of reading do the questions direct the reader? (3) Which forms ofreading are most frequent in the book talks? The result show that five out of six forms of reading areactive in the book talks and that the questions direct the students towards four. Most frequent are the plotoriented and during major parts of the book talks no form of reading is active. Two complementary formsof reading and a re-evaluating of parts of the book talks are suggested.
