During the course of this semester, what kind of reading did you do?
This semester I read two classics, one bizarre book, and one pop fiction. They were very different, but I enjoyed them all.
Was it easy to find things that interested you?
Yes. I know what I like to read, so it wasn't a challenge.
Did you have trouble finding something you could stick with?
No, I finished all of the books, even though there were occasionally dull parts.
How did you choose the things you read?
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius was a book that Mr. Hill had sitting on the shelf to recommend to the students. I liked the title and asked him about it. He recommended it, so I borrowed it from his classroom.
The Magicians and Mrs. Quent was a book I purchased on sale when Mitchel Books went out of business. I read the inside cover and liked how it sounded.
Frankenstein was a classic I bought after watching the musical. I liked the story and wanted to read the book.
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is a book I bought because I love both King Arthur stories and satire. Seemed promising.
Did you have trouble meeting the weekly page quota?
I was crunched for time, but it was never an option not to finish. I ended up reading about 50 pages a night the Wednesday and Thursday before it was due since I was reading for Novels the other days. It was a lot, but I made sure that every week I accomplished my goal.
