Finally

Where and when did you find yourself sitting down to read? Do you tend to read with music on, or in silence? By the computer? Did you find yourself checking your phone a lot, or do you ever lose yourself in the reading? Do you ever talk about the books you read with your family or friends or teachers?
I have never had trouble reading before, so i liked this assignment. I usually read every night before i go to bed. Sometimes its not a good thing especially if its a really good book cause then i dont want to go to bed. Reading for this class, i usually read during study hall and at night in bed. sometimes if i was behind on reading or it was a really good book i would read in my happy room which is really our sun room but my family and everyone else that knows about it calls it the happy room. When i read then it was easy to not get distracted because i dont have music, a computer, or my phone by me during class or in bed. my phone is off when im in bed so thats helpful. One time i was reading a really good book during study hall and it was at a really intense part so when i got to the next class i felt like i was in the book and i was really paranoid because thats how the book was. so it was kinda weird but at least that means that the book was really good. i tell my friends about the books im reading especially if im reading during a free time in a class and someone asks me about the book that im reading. someone even asked to borrow the book when i was done because it sounded really good.

And sometimes, those things can change your life forever.  ~Whistling in the Dark
