I bet half of you reading this are all "i don't like to read", or "me? books?"
but i bet you do like books. I think it's school that's making you read boring books, book that aren't of your interest, so therefore that's "hating reading". i loathe the books we read in school. it's nothing that i like. nothing that interests me. but i love to read, don't get me wrong. i have a bookshelf full of books. but yeah, i hate the books at school. so what books have you read (recently-- last year/this year) in school that you HATED-- fell asleep on that boring. and what books did you LIKE reading? i'm currently reading the odyssey and we just finished this mythology book. i hate mythology, or anything ancient. it's so boring that it took me two hours to read a chapter (they're book I, II, III, etc. instead of chpaters) and take notes. we read huckleberry finn last year and it was so boring. I read the Giver last year, and that was the only book I probably liked. |

Yeah, I know what you mean. The book we read so far this year was Beowulf, and it wasn't too bad once you understood the scheme of the poem. We're reading "The Canterbury Tales" next, so I'll see how that goes.
I absolutely hated reading: Animal Farm, Lord of the Flies. I enjoyed reading Catcher in the Rye. |
