Before this class ive probably read a total of 4 books, and those books were manditory for class in highschool. I really dont have any relationships with books because I personaly think reading is boring. I know reading is suppose to make you better writer, and enhance your vocabulary, but I cant bring myself to ever sit down and read one unless its homework. I like to write though, I love to brainstorm and writing everything thats on my mind, and transfer it onto paper. I think I have a unique mind when it comes to writing because when ever I an idea about something, it seems like my imagination is endless. When I write, I can express any kind of emotion or thought I have inside and talk about it forever.

Question for Reflection& Writing "The Lonely, Good Company of Books".

Im not really big on reading, I dont like to read in my spare time. The only time I read is when its manditory. I have an imagination when It comes to reading. I just cant sit still for a long time without zoning out. My parents are similar to Rodriguez's parents in the essay. They didnt make me read, nor did the read a lot themselves besides what came in the mail or the newspaper. I think if my parents would of made me read when I was younger, I would be more enthused about reading books. Like Rodriguez, I too did not like to read in school. Over time, Rodriguez over came his hatered for book and became in love with reading. On the other hand, I never became a lover of books, and I dont think I ever will.
