Writing About Reading: By Kasey No

When I start to read a new book, I most likely have no idea on what it's about. It may start very boring and lead to fun, or it may start as fun and lead to a whole lot of boring. I really have no idea how good a book will be, so I just read and read. If I don't actually get it, I just re-read that section of the book until the meaning just clicks in my mind.
If the world was perfect, I would always have the access to a quiet reading spot in the house. But unfortunately, with three other people in the house, that is nearly never possible. Really the only quiet time is in the middle of the night, which is when I would probably dose off whilst reading my book. So for the rest of my high school life, I need to get used to reading with a faint sound of the television or washing machine, no matter where I am in the house.
I would say my reading style really is anything. I would just say that I hate boring books because they're simply not good books to me. So I guess an exciting book would involve action and/or some sort of drama. I would pick a fiction book over a nonfiction any day because fiction is much more fun than the real world. When a good author can just use their imagination to write about someone instead of writing they're own version of the truth, 9 times out of 10, the whole story would be a lot more interesting.
