Post 1: Why I Read

If you are lucky to come across me reading, it is most likely because I have to for school. I typically only read when I am assigned an English project where I am forced to read.  But even when I am assigned to read for class, I don't always do so.  But I do plan on reading more often, that is why I took this class.  If  I am reading something that interests me, then it is a lot easier for me to read.  When I am reading something for a certain class that is not interesting at all, then I start thinking about something totally off topic from what I am reading.  I just can't seem to focus when I read.  I wish that I liked reading, because I truly think that it will make you smarter and strengthen your vocabulary.  I think that I am missing out on a lot of good stories and books out there because I am just too lazy to read.  Maybe it's because I most likely have ADHD.  I just can't focus for enough time to sit down and read a book just for fun.  But when it comes down to life or death, reading = life.
