Assignment 2 - William Begley - I'm Not an Avid Reader

During the last year I've only read 3 books all the way through (I'm not a great reader). These include The Great Gatsby, The Teenage Brain, and  The Joy Luck Club. All three of these books were required for school and looking back, I haven't read a book for enjoyment in multiple years. I did moderately enjoy The Great Gatsby and get pretty interested in The Teenage Brain during some chapters but I've never had the drive to finish a book instead of doing almost anything else. I just prefer to have either physical or visual parts to activities in order to enjoy them, weather that be playing a sport or watching a show. I have started many books that seem interesting but I never stay attentive enough to finish and I think it says more about me than it does the book. I have a short attention span and I just can't stay connected to a book. In fact, there are very few things I can do for multiple hours and not get bored with it. I've always wanted to increase my reading skills but I've never really given it my all to finish a book and I think it'd be rewarding to complete one and I will try to read one all the way through after reflecting on my embarrassing lack of reading.
