I love reading. I just recently got my Bachelors's Degree in English, so needless to say I spend most of my college career reading and writing about what I was reading. I spent a lot of time reading a lot of things that I didn't really want to, but I was also introduced to a lot of authors and styles I never would have even looked at. One of my favorite classes was my senior seminar class on American Short Stories. I really admire short stories because so much is accomplished in a so few pages.
I read ALL the time, anywhere and everywhere, which I think sometimes annoys my boyfriend! But I usually always carry a book on me, up until lately that is. I got a Kindle for my birthday, so now that basically never leaves my side. Whenever I have down time at work I read, I read during my lunch and breaks, and I read during breakfast and every night before bed I read at least a chapter or two.
I read anything and everything. I like fiction mostly. I like losing myself in a book.
Some of my favorite books are:
Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. I have read it at least 5 times and it never gets old. It is an amazing book.
A Prayer for Owen Meany, By Washington Irving. I read this in my freshman college English class. It took me a while to realize that it was what the movie Simon Birch was based of off, but it was so much better than the movie. This book is where I started noticing symbolism in books.
All the Harry Potter books. I am a Harry Potter nerd!!!!! Goblet of Fire is my favorite of the series.
White Oleander, by Janet Fitch. Every time I read this book, I notice something new, something I didn't see before. Love it.
