Thoughts on Reading

Well personally, I didn't like the book at all, until the last stage. I found myself trying to push through the first chapters because I simply couldn't relate to Pip. I thought that the whole book had a dark vibe that I didn't indentify with or enjoy much at all. I didn't really enjoy Dickens as an author which obvoiusly made the reading harder to get through, and I most likely would not read another one of his books in the future unless it was in a class. I actually figured out most of the mysteries on my own, but some did take help from Spark Notes or fellow class readers.
I did read the entire book, it took alot of effort, but I am proud to say I read the whole thing. My reading habits where constantly changing because I couldn't find one that worked just right for me, to be compeletely honest. At first, I tried to take my book with me to work out, which lastest about a week until I gave up. Reading on the treadmill it parctically impossible and I learned that when you bring a book into the gym, people like to ask questions...lots of them. My second try was reading while helping out at dinner, which lastest even shorter than the first. I quickly learned that when you decide to not check the almonds toasting in the pan until the whole chapter is done, you get burnt almonds and chapters you have to reread. Still not giving up on the novel, I decided to wake up an extra hour early before school to read thinking that if it worked for my teacher, it has to work for me. Apparently reading and early morning aren't a match made in heaven...I ended up falling alseep on my book after the first page and being so very late to my beloved English class. Not so smooth I might say. But there is a happy ending to this reading assignment, because after 3 fails at finding my habit, I learned that reading before going to bed was what worked for me. It was quiet, didn't invlove burning anything, and wasn't during the morning. So, for the last stage and a half I read under the glow of my Princess night light, with just my book and I.
