Writers as Readers

1. I can read almost anywhere. I always have to be listening to music when I read though. I make playlist that go along with the books I'm reading. When I do read I like to read in my bed where I can lay down.  It is sometimes hard to read like that because the book can sometimes fall out of my hand and fall on my face, which hurts a lot.  I like reading on my phone in total darkness.

4. one of my favorite memories associated with reading is when I was rereading Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, the first book in the very long series. My family went to Colorado for Christmas my freshman year and we had to take a small van down from the mountain. There was a really big snow storm so it took about 3 hours longer than expected to get down the mountain. We missed our plan home and at 2 in the morning we were checked into a hotel near by the airport. We did not have a car and we needed to eat so we ran to a Ruby Tuesday's right by the Hotel and ate there really early in the morning. I read the book the whole way down the mountain and I was just at the part in the book were the characters eat at a restaurant quite like Ruby Tuesday's late at night after traveling a long time. I felt like I was almost in the book.

7. The first book I remember being able to read on my own was Harry the Dirty Dog.  The book was about a dog that gets so dirty his family can't recognize him.  My dad would read me that book before bed every might until I was able to read on my own. I still love that book to this day.

8. Overall I have two favorite book series Harry Potter an Percy Jackson. I think I love these books because they are amazing and I associate  them with my family.  My dad would read me and my sisters Harry Potter every night and it is a very family thing. Percy Jackson I relate to my sisters. My sisters would and can still go on for hours about those books.

10. Growing up Harry Potter was a very big part of my life but I know kids that were not allowed to read or watch Harry Potter. I always think that was dumb and I feel bad for them because they really missed out. I do think that books give power. Books provide a lot of knowledge and knowledge is power. I do not think that by reading Harry Potter you are participating in a cult.
