Oh how I love nothing more than to be huddled up under a blanket with my mind in another world, another persons head, in a murder mystery or a fantasy war. I found an intense love of oriental history through reading.
My mum is a very big reader, and from an early age always encouraged me to bring home more difficult, longer books and to expand my reading abilities. I always loved fantasy novels and continue now finding new ones to read. I was always well known to borrow 10-15 books from a library because I read so fast that I was always looking for more to satisfy my reading craving.
My reading abilities now involve me being a very, very fast reader. It drives me insane, but I just love so much to get through the book, to find out what is happening that suddenly its over and I’ve read the entire book in less than an hour. The skills that I have to learn would be to slow down for things such as important updates for my job, newspaper articles, smaller writing on pages and textbook reading. I find that with textbooks I have to re-read things because my brain moves so quickly that I just don’t take it in the first time. So now I try to slow down, and attempt to repeat out loud what I’ve just read to make sure that I have definitely processed it.
