reading and me

To understand my relation to reading you have to go back to the first grade. I had trouble learning to read it was hard for me. It was not till 8 grade that I started to enjoy reading. I use to hate to read but the more I read the better I got. When I did start to get in to reading I loved it. At first I loved to read things like Gary Paulsen who I still like to read. I loved the outdoorsman theme of his books. When I started to have to read books for school it was hard for me to read for fun and still is. I try to look at the books I have to read for school as fun. Last year I loved all the books we read especially the Great Gatsby and Johnny got his gun which are now my two favorite books. Though last year It was hard for me to keep up with the nightly reading and all my other books because I would read so slow but to combat that I found that if I lessoned to the books and followed along with it I would get it done faster but I also understood the books better. I have trouble just to start reading some times because I have a heard time just to sit still and focus on the book. I like to read things that have an interesting plot but do not over do it. I read a lot of popular science magazine and the comic in the paper every day. I also read the news of the BBC website. I would like to push my self to read more.
