My Reading

I have read a few books since the last time I posted, and I just started a new book called "The color of water". It is a book by a black boy as a tribute to his white mom. This boy lives in the 1960's with his 11 black siblings and his white mom. Obviously this is somewhat a problem, and they go through life facing every possible hardship, and end up loving life anyways
I used to be an avid reader, I would read a book every other week, and If i found a really good book I could finish it in a day. I still would love to read that much, but I don't have the time anymore. Every night I don't get home till nine or close to it, and after homework I never feel like reading, however when I find a book that I do like I can't put it down. Over spring break I read three books, and they were some of the best books I have read, and that has spurred me to begin to read a little bit more.

Goals

I consider myself a pretty big reader, I used to read all the time, probably an hour or more every day, but in the last year or two I have fallen way back in reading. I just don't have very much time anymore with all of my practices, games, and homework, but I would really like to continue to get back into reading. I read two and a half books over spring break, all probably around 600 pages, so obviously I am a generally fast reader, but I also had three twenty hour car rides and two two hour plane rides that I spent a lot of time reading, I won't have that kind of time during normal school. Right now I am just starting "Lord of the Flies". I would like to finish this book, and read "Bounce" which is a book about the key to success. If i finish these which I probably will I would like to give "The Godfather" an other chance. I started it last year, but it was a little slow, and I only read about a quarter of it. I can guarantee I will finish my first two books, but would also like to get "The Godfather" done as well.
