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.
I thought this post was really funny, I love how honest you are about reading.
ReplyDeleteI really like how honest you are about reading! I thought your post was funny and entertaining to read.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so insightful
ReplyDeleteMy brother is actually a lot like you, now that I think about it. He's also struggled to read and find the energy to read, but he understands how it helps him in life and so on and so forth. And as Ashley and Alicia have said, at least you're honest!!
ReplyDeleteI think you zeroed in on a key idea--people tend to read more if it's interesting to them. I think readers are often made by finding the right books or authors or genres. I think school is filled with readers just like you and we do a bad job of helping sometimes, unfortunately.
