Reading habits are picky

Tuesday, October 12, 2010 By Emily Fischer

Even though I love English and writing, I’ll be the first to admit that my reading habits are picky. I typically enjoy the books that we are required to read for school, particularly the ones we get to pick ourselves. In fact, my top two favorite books were ones that I got to pick for school related assignments, and they are Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, and The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. When I read for pleasure, I usually pick non-fiction books just because I like to read books that I can really get a lot out of, and for me, that is usually books about personal experiences. However, I also like to read magazines and news online just for fun. I don’t necessarily read often, but if I am at a point in the school year that isn’t very busy or when I have time in the summer, I will find a book to take my time and read on my own.
