About Me As A Reader

People read for entertainment, information, and sometimes because a grade depends on it. Being a reader can mean that you read something, which could mean reading books, newspapers, or blog posts. I don't think you really have to do anything to earn the title of "reader", everyone reads, just some more than others. I think of a good reader(in other words an avid reader) being someone who reads a lot, and gets enjoyment from what they are reading. These are not the people who say, "Oh, I'll just see the movie when it comes out."

I personally have a lot of favorite authors, but most of them come from my favorite series. Usually I read more of these authors after I read one book by them, because I like the writing style and how they describe things, and I want more. I do consider myself to be a reader(at least of books), because I read more than just when I am asked to. I learned to read like most other people did, by going to school. But, I think I read more than some other people do because when I was younger, my mother would read stories to me. This instilled into me a love of reading.

Choosing from the words I was given, I would have to say that I am a passionate reader. I read because a lot of authors have the ability to make you feel as if you are in a foreign land or standing alongside the characters in the story. They can make you feel as if you know those characters and become very attached to them. I would like to widen my scope of genres. I generally stay in the Sci-fi/ Fantasy/Supernatural genre area, and I would like to try and read more Crime novels, or even Non-fiction. I have a lot of trouble focusing on reading non-fiction books.

I liked talking about my feelings on reading, and felt that it was a fun and exciting experience.
