RE: Writing About Reading

I like to read all sorts of books, as long as they have some sort of adventure, action, or humor. These kinds of books are easy to enjoy and continue reading.

The main genre I read in middle school was fiction and fantasy, though I'm starting to get into more high school-level books. As for non-fiction...what's non-fiction mean? I disdain books just about facts, they're way too boring. I'm learning how to acutally understand the books that have high diction, like those on the Summer Assignment list.

Always when I begin to read a book, I pay close attention to the first few pages. This lets me know usually the setting of the story, or maybe even some hints of the author's tone. Once I know the main setting and what's going on in the book, I can easily continue reading. Sometimes when I really like a book, time goes by really fast. Overall, I love books that have a interesting beginning; it's like an insurance that I'll enjoy the story.
