different readings
Like I have said before I don't care for reading unless it's something that interest me like sports. I just can't seem to get by my view on reading, why should I read something that I don't care about? Like reading for school for example, never once have I read a book and at the end cared about what happened. If it wasn't for assignments I never even would of read it. But that could be my problem, maybe I should be more open to reading and that way when it does come time to reading for class it wont be such a drag for me. At the same time again I find myself stuck reading for class. Certain amount of pages each class that I have to read etc. I could pick up a sports illustrated and read through the whole thing without any push for motivation period. the tipping point already has shocked me with the word "syphillis" alone. Definitely not what I was expecting at all, but it did make me a little more interested because that seems to be a catchy topic. Plus it's the point of the whole book. I just find readings like these (ones for class) very boring and I'd just sooner be doing something else.

Kat,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to read that certain topics caught your interest in this book. I understand your frustrations in having to read certain amonth of pages. It might feel like a drag sometime, but remember that to learn a new information and expand one's world view, one needs to read different type of texts. Sports Illustrated type of readings, although eye-catching, might not take the readers into a deeper level of thinking and analysing the world around us. And, you don't need to either "like" or "hate" the whole book. Like you indicated, there will be parts of a reading material that will be quite appealing and interesting whereas certain parts might be boring for some audience.
