Why I Read

Hey guys, I'm Eric and there are a few reasons that I read. The primary reason that I read books is because they're entertaining. If I try to read a book that isn't entertaining to me I would either lose interest in it and end up day dreaming, or would fall asleep reading. The most recent book that I enjoyed reading was actually the Hunger Game series. I liked reading those books because they were suspenseful and kept me interested. When I was reading I had difficulty putting it down and stayed up late many nights reading the books. Another reason that I read for is for my education. I don't necessarily take pleasure in reading for school because the books and textbooks that I'm required to read have no flavor or personality. The books are bland for the most part and I end up falling asleep while reading half of the books. Even though I read the books for school I don't believe I read them for the right reasons. I read them just for the sake of keeping my grade up because I wanted the praise of doing well. There are a few exceptions though, I really enjoyed reading The Great Gatsby because it was intriguing and thought-provoking. I love reading books that keep me interested and hope that I can find more time to read in this year and through college.
