The Reading I Enjoy

Through out my life I haven't always enjoyed reading. I found when I was quite young I couldn't focus on reading for a long period of time. When I attended grade 1 we were given readers and asked to read them to our parents. I recall reading these readers always to my father but after the first 15 minutes of me reading he would soundly fall asleep, I don't blame him one bit, they were quite boring. My siblings and I always were extremely energetic. We would always be running around, playing hide and go seek, or creating some sort of trouble in the house. Therefore I never really found time for reading. But once I began attending the other grades such as grade 6,7 and 8 my reading patterns began to improve. My first real series I enjoyed was the Shopaholic series written by Sophie Kinsella. Most recently I have found my love for reading. This past summer I read some of my most favourite books. They happened to be Looking For Alaska by John Green, Fault in Our Stars also written by John Green, The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde, This Side of Paradise by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. I can truly say now that I have grown to love the act of reading.
