Reading experiences

I sometimes think of myself as one of those people that are just born to read and can read any book around with ease. But although I like to think this, the reality is that I would almost always turn down the opportunity to read in favour of lazier forms of entertainment such as video games or TV. This is what cause my late night reading habits where just as I get into bed to go to sleep I feel like I should have been reading. So I end up reading basically until I can't keep my eyes open any more. This is a bad habit and makes reading a less enjoyable experience; something that I need to change.

But I still do read during other, more enjoyable times of the day where my urge to find a good place to read takes me to some unusual places. Probably the most unusual place was at the top of a tree reading the third instalment of Eion Colfers best-selling series Artemis Fowl. What made me pick a tree I still don't know but in the time it took for my sisters interview to end I had read almost two-hundred pages of text; something I still don't know how I managed to do

There are 3 different ways for me to choose a book; Slowly walk around looking for something that grabs my attention OR Go looking for a title, series or author that someone has recommended OR probably the most unusual tactic I've adopted, saying a random number and picking a random shelf and counting that many books from the end. I found my favourite book of all time by using this unusual tactic. It was called "The horn of mortal danger." by Lawrence Leonard.
