Summer Reading

Over the course of this summer I will be reading a few books. I plan on reading Game of Thrones, Watchmen, and Into the Wild. Watchmen and Into the Wild are books that I have to read for summer reading, and Game Of Thrones I am reading for my personal pleasure. I chose to read Watchmen for my choice book because it is a graphic novel, and I have heard it is good. I chose Game of Thrones to read because I have been watching the show recently and it is an amazing show!

I would rather read during the summer as I have more time to do it. During the summer it is also very nice out which would motivate me to read outside which is much nicer than reading inside. Other years I am not very exited for summer reading, but these books sound like they will be good, and they are genres that I enjoy.

Why I dislike reading

I am personally not a big fan of reading books. I enjoy reading a book here and there, but when school calls for reading multiple books in a short amount of time I do not like it. The books chosen for school are usually not books that I enjoy to read as I enjoy adventure books. Reading the books that I do not enjoy is very boring. When you have to do assignments for the book it makes me enjoy them even less that I would have without having to do work for them. Reading is a very time consuming activity as most books are long with small print. Reading is also very strenuous on the eyes making me more tired.

My least favorite books that we have read in school would be Nectar in a Sieve, The Pearl, Guernsey's literary and potato peel society, Hiroshima, Iron and Silk, I know why the caged bird sings, Chocolat, and many others. If we were able to pick our books for school the classes would be much more enjoyable.

My Ideal Reading Situation

My ideal reading situation when I am home is in the middle of fall when the leaving are just beginning to turn into wonderful colors. My window must be open just a smidge, just enough for me to feel the breeze against my frail skin. I must have a cold hardy lemonade ready to go in case I become parched from the vigorous reading that I will be doing. The lemonade must be made from the best lemons that money can buy, along with 4 ice cubes in the drink putting it at a nice 37 degrees, a bendy straw, and an tooth pick umbrella.

When I am not home I have a different ideal situation. If I am out an about I love to read at the pond, lakes, and oceans. While I am reading the water soothes the senses and I feel at one with the book. Reading in the dangerous outdoors is a completely different experience than reading inside.I personally enjoy reading outdoors rather than indoors because it gives me a thrill.
