Reading Isn't For Everyone

                Reading is not one of my favorite things to do. When I was littler it wasn’t as bad but now I rarely enjoy it, and I have a hard time sitting still for that long and keeping my mind focused. When we are assigned to read for school I put it off for as long as I possibly can because I dread it. Every once in awhile I find a good book that I can’t stop reading until I finish, but that is rare for me.

                When I was little my mom used to read to me every night before bed. She would read books like Harry Potter, When You Give a Moose a Muffin, A Bad Case of the Stripes, Brown Bear Brown Bear, Tikki Tikki Tembo, Scooby Doo books, and Dr. Suess books. I really enjoyed that, maybe that’s because I didn’t have to do all the work. While I don’t like reading I do enjoy reading books to my nieces, but that could be because those are children’s books, short books for a short attention span.

                As I said before I will sometimes find a really good book that I can’t put down. Some of my friends who read a lot refer books to me that are pretty good. Some of the books that I love are Its Kind Of A Funny Story, Killing Britney, the Twilight series, Purpose for the Pain, The Diary of Anne Frank, and Sight. There are a couple books that I want to read that I am waiting to get from the library. Maybe I can still learn to like reading; it would be very good for me.
