My Reading History

I am sure that I am not a reader. For one thing, I hate spending a lot of time doing the same event, not to mention reading a book or magazine which usually takes much time. Another is that when I was young, I focused more on my studies which made me stressed rather than reading extracurricular books. Therefore, I disliked reading. I read only for specific reasons. For example, teachers force me to do so or I find a book that really catches my attention. Sometimes, if my friends strongly suggest one book, I would try to finish reading.

        I still remember a book called Pride and Prejudice which I read in July. Most modern people are just like the main female role in this book. We judge a book by its cover without further understanding one’s inner beauty. Actually, I am no exception. Nonetheless, after reading this novel, I know that if I keep doing this, I will certainly miss something important in the end.

        After seeing classmates’ reading history, I realize that they develop the habit of reading when young. Their parents or the living environment influenced a lot. As for me, I don’t have that kind of strength, and I think that’s also one of the reasons why I am not a reader. However, I hope I can find my interests, get into the habit of reading, and learn through this class.
