Greetings

So, for my first entry I am just going to say that I am a reader. I love to read. I haven't always loved to read...I think I told my first grade teacher that I HATED to read...and by 4th grade I could read at a 12th grade level and beyond. Often I could read the words but maybe didn't always understand the content or context of what I was reading. I can also read fast...which was something my cousins always thought was really interesting. I have never really timed myself but I read Nights in Rodanthe by Nicholas Sparks Sunday morning...I think I was up at 8:30am and I had it read by 9:30am or so...Of course the fluff fiction I can read the fastest...and I do my best when I can sit uninterrupted and read. Who has that luxury? I feel that if you WANT to read, you can make it happen. I read everything now...before I used to only read fiction, and occasionally the newspaper or magazine articles. I have found that I do like the occasional non-fiction book. My plan is to read things...and talk about them. Also, recap some things I have already read. I would love to have your input as well...and recommendations. I used to have a friend that I would see every so often, she and I would discuss books and she would recommend titles to me, and I to her. It was great! So, if there is something you think I should read...let me know!
