When reading stopped being about enjoying it and instead about genres you have no interest and then have to write a report about how you spent hours over anylyzing it.

I love reading, But I read so fast that I' not allowed to buy books, because I finish them before I even get back home XD
BTW, it's because we hardly get anyththing good assigned.

Just kidding!
For me? I groaned because I didn't care about any of the books, not one book I read in High School was enjoyable. It's not my thing, so it annoyed me so I grunted and groaned ..and went to clifnotes after I really got tired of it. I read online things all the time, I read science articles, most books bore me to tears. As a kid I used to like reading goosbumps, I doubt any kid reads now-a-days, too busy with their Modern Warfare hoo-hah.

I use to get hung up while reading so badly, because I'd read it as it was...and then have to go back and re-read it. Now just from time and experience I'll rearrange (that's the easiest way to describe it) after it enters my brainz before I interpret it.
It's partly to do with the lame ass books you're suppose to study, the fatc that you have to "learn" them rather than just read them, and the fact that you have to do a fucking ASSINGMENT.
I do get things jumbled up when reading from time to time, I usually just have to go back and read the line one or twice over again. Not much of a hang up, what does mess me up more then anything else is forgetting words, losing track of what I am saying, and getting two opposite concepts mixed up; like saying right when I mean left.Marowit said:
Yeeah reading was ruined for me freshman year of high school when we had to read great expectations...... i friggin hate that book.
Ditto. I've always been a really fast reader, so that usually made me lose my patience. I especially hated it when teachers would insist everyone takes turns. So I might be several pages ahead of everyone else, and then my turn would come out of nowhere and everyone would have to wait for me to flip back and figure out what sentence we were on. Dammit people, maybe if you didn't all read in slow motion I might not have felt the need to keep reading myself.MiracleOfSound said:
I read quite a lot, although I don't read many books. For whatever reason, I prefer to read electronic texts nowadays.
Give me a good sci-fi today, and we can have in-depth discussion about its themes two workdays from now.
You should try Pride and Prejudics and Zombies. A marked improvement on the original I feel.Fulax said:
I've always loved books. Always.
And the reason why people can't be bothered to read these days is the coverage books get as a result of *cough* Twilight *cough*. Since books get painted mainly in a negative like (as how bad Twilight sucks is pretty much all you'll see if you search for books on the internet), people don't read them. That's just my opinion and my hatred for a certain series of "books" shining through like THE SUN ITSELF.
