      Reading is one of my favorite things to do. I love to read. I always make time to read. I enjoy reading the most when everyone is relaxing and watching tv. I go into my bedroom and get under the covers and read for at least as few hours. Sometimes I only read for a little while because I am tired and can't keep my eyes open. I find this book very interesting and I am enjoying the read, the characters are interesting and spontaneuous. I feel at this point in the book anything can happen and I think that is what is so interesting. It keeps the reader on their toes. I read whenever I get a chance to. Mostly I read in bed (my favorite), or waiting for my next class, during lunch. I am mostly eager to find out what is going to happen next, curiousity gets the best of me. This book is an easy read and I think this could be one of the reasons I am drawn to this book. I don't need a dictionary to figure out the words, but I do think some of the characters need a bar of soap in their mouth.
     I feel it is important to stay current with the reading assignments. I am taking four classes this semester and all of my classes have some required reading. It is very easy to fall behind on the reading and very hard to catch up. It makes it hard to participate in the class lectures. When it comes to reading and writing, I would rather read a lot and write a little. I would rather read 500 pages then write 500 words. I think the hardest part about reading is trying to understand a book that is difficult to read. I really become frustrated and once I do that it is hard for me to continue to read the book. I remember reading a book for my English 1C class, it was King Lear, by Shakespeare. That was a difficult book to read at first, but the more I read, I slowly began to understand what it was I was reading.
     I would say I am good at reading and enjoy it, but the writing assignments not so much. I struggle with this the most. I become really stressed out. I think it is the whole writing process because once I iron out all the details and begin writing I am not so stressed out anymore. Sometimes I struggle when the teacher has us pick our own topic. I find it easier when the teacher assigns the topic. For the most part reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies. It gives me a chance to escape from reality to enter another world other than my own and to view life from a different perspective.
