Writing about Reading

Sometimes I read books just because they're short! Usually, if I have to read a book for the following day, I just read a short story so I can finish the assingment. But sometimes that's not the best idea. Usually the book is sssoooo boring, most of the time because it is short. So, what I usually do when the first chapter is hard to follow is I skim. I just read like a couple sentences of each paragraph and look for the good parts. Sometimes i might miss an important detail or two. Like when I read Twilight by Stephanie Meyer(which is amazing!), I started skimming for a few paragraphs. But then I missed one of the best parts of the book when Edward makes a dent in the car! And it totally ruined the moment...

Have you ever been in a situation where you have the most powerful, amazing, wondrous book in your hands and you are longing to read it but you can't because the annoying pest you call your sister is bugging you an bugging you untill you explode? Trust me, it happens to me ALL the time! So what I usually do when that happens is I sit in a relaxing pose and I go into a soothing state of mind where all distrations can't get into my head. I just ignore those distractions, but its kind of more complexed than that. I close my eyes, hum a little, then enter the world of my book.

Now I bet that 97% of all the people in the world would rather read fiction than non-fiction. The world you live in is just too boring to read about. Wouldn't you rather explore new worlds, go on adventures, and meet much more exciting people? Non-fiction books just give you more detail about the boring things around you, while fiction takes you out of this world! Now who wouldn't want to read fiction?
