I read to console myself, always like getting away. So my reading can be very spontaneous. It depends on what I have been reading. A lighter read is much needed when I've been on a roll of heavy books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886066536333300570.post-57809509263653517362009-01-23T06:45:00.000-07:002009-01-23T06:45:00.000-07:00I find your remarks to be informed and passionate....I find your remarks to be informed and passionate...ideas with which other readers also can identify...I would like to quote excerpts on our Barking Planet blog...looking at what others have commented here it is clear -- once again --that reading can also connect one to other people, where respect as well as ideas are shared...Best wishes, RobertAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886066536333300570.post-24488154562781646632009-01-22T15:13:00.000-07:002009-01-22T15:13:00.000-07:00Thanks for visitng my blog.

I'm trying to mix more classics into my reading though, since that is what our homeschool method is based on.<BR/><BR/>Reading is definitely a search for truth, whether we realize it or not. Every book we read helps us make choices about who we are and what we believe. :)<BR/><BR/>What part of Wyoming are you in?!

Growing up I knew maybe one or two other teenagers who enjoyed reading. Most of my fellow classmates, through all the years of schooling, read only what was assigned for classes. Actually, half of them didn't even read the assigned books, just watched the movie or asked me about the books.<BR/><BR/>I think that there are a number of reasons people do not like to read. Possibly reading was not introduced in a positive manner. Possibly they had a hard time learning to read, and now have have those negative feelings associated with reading. Possibly they are much more active and hands on in their learning style, and find sitting in one place looking at little black lines to be pointless.Book Lover Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07976235226541008990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8886066536333300570.post-7415301751808146132009-01-22T12:15:00.000-07:002009-01-22T12:15:00.000-07:00I love the idea that you read for truth.
