Reading

It took me a very long time to find out that love to read. I have always been an avid fan of movies, and believed that I could get the same excitement out of stories from watching them as reading them. The first books that I started to read were James Patterson novels. My brother was reading "The beach house" when I was in the the 7th grade, and was telling me how great it was. From that book on, I was sold to anything that Patterson put out. Reading at least 15 of his books, I attribute my interest in reading because of those books. Eventually I learned that the two things I love to read are suspense, and biographies.
My favorite places to read is either on an airplane or in my bedroom at home. I think the reason I was always turned off to reading is because in grade school, the only books that we read were boring and insignificant. The only book I can remember reading for school that I liked was The Great Gatsby. Im still hoping they make a modern day adaptation for it too. The draw to reading now is that the information you acquire after reading is long lasting.
