Response to "Book and Words" from Leon Liang

     Books were never of a pleasure for me and I really hate wasting time reading them. I found a few sentences from my friend's, Leon's Blog about how he dislikes reading. I really think that it also reflects me as well.

"When I hear the word 'book', I automatically feel like I am going to be bored to death from reading. Reading is something that I find complicated and hard. I am one of those that cannot sit down and just read. Most of the time, I would just fall asleep after a couple pages. The problem with books is that I cannot face a page full of just words. From grade school until now, the number of books I have read, excluding the books assigned by teachers, can be counted with two hands. I never bother to go discover which book is good and which one is boring. I only read things that I feel like interesting."     -Leon Liang

      When reading, I always feels this way because I don't like reading any teacher's books. Unless it is one of those scary books or science fiction. I always loved those types, but it takes me a long time to even start reading because once I start reading, I cant really stop because I want to just continue on. I don't like reading any other types of books because they are not of my interest and don't always create the suspense that I expect when reading.
      Last year for our old English teacher, we had to read classics and old time books of her choice for the entire year. It was really boring. When I was reading those books, it took me a long time to read because I was constantly distracted by other events and objects in the house. The books that our past teacher made us read were also not interesting. I really don't like to read books about rape and how life is miserable for others and what they are doing. If the class had awesome action filled books last year, it would have been rather fun and we could learn a lot more about writing.
