This qualitative study investigates the reasons behind three upper-secondary English teachers’ choices regarding suitable fiction for their students, how they engage students in reading, and what they think motivates students to read. It also investigates eight students’ motivation toward reading. This study also aims to provide some insight into how the criteria behind the reading lists can be adapted to stimulate the students’ interest in reading. The data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with the teachers and students, respectively. The results of this study suggest that one possible way to increase motivation for reading is the use of different genres and methods.
