This first semester, I have read six books. I read "In Defense of Food", "The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian", "Nation", "Split", "In Pursuit of Perfection", and of course, "Lord of the Flies". I have found that my favorite book so far has been "In Pursuit of Perfection" by Geno Auriemma, one of the best basketball coach of all time. I get to hear about the multiple women's basketball seasons at UConn first hand. I love getting to hear the opinions of someone I respect so much. Obviously, my interest in this book is because it is about basketball. If I like the book, I actually enjoy reading, something I have not experienced much in the past.
This next semester, I will work on finding other subjects I enjoy reading about. I can't read about sports all the time, so I want to find other book I like. I think I'm going to try reading a book that one of my classmates has enjoyed and suggested. By the end of the school year, I want to have read around twelve books, varying in topics. Hopefully, I can expand my pleasure of reading so that it isn't just a task.
