reading is all about strategy. Depending on what you're reading, you'll need to utilize different types of reading and reading techniques. I always spend a lot of time in reading. In a sense I think this has made me a better reader because it has forced me to read things out of my comfort zone and things that I may never have known existed. When looking at myself as a reader I’d have to say that I like to read more story of life than to read things like novels. I think that reading as an English major has made me very critical and challanged me to notice what is really good writing and what is sort of just done for the mainstream. We must maintain our reading comprehension, because reading is not simply knowing what words you have read, it's the ability to look at what these words say and to figure out what they mean. I like reading a fantasies where I can become attached to a certain character or relate to something that is occurring in the text. I think I could relate my reading level to different levels of the spectrum; I enjoy really great literature that challenges me to ask questions and figure things out myself, but I also enjoy biographies that are easy to understand and done in a way for pleasurable read and we can get more lessons about life and the way how other people engaged different rigor and how they determined to fight against those problems. Lastly, I really believe that reading changes us, that's why I love reading.
