Reading

I read two articles about speed reading so I want to write about reading today. The fist article Speed Read is from wired by Emily Saso and the second article is from wiseBread and is written by Lindsey Knerl it's a review of the book The complete idiot's guide to speed reading.

When I was younger I didn't read a books for pleasure, I read books because they were school assignments. I probably finished the reading assignments, but I am sure I disliked reading those books and would rather have been watching T.V or playing video games

I did read sports Illustrated and the sports section of the news paper, but I wish I would have also read fiction and non fiction so I could learn about something other than sports.

It was about a decade ago when I started reading books for pleasure. I am still not a fast reader and I need to look up big words in the dictionary, but now I enjoy reading.

One problem I had with reading was I thought I had to remember every word in a sentence and I read very slow for awhile. Now I don't worry about remembering everything and that works much better.

I still read books although now I do most of my reading on my computer. I read blogs and websites and also some books that I download as PDF's.
