NUMB3R ON3

Thinking as far back as I can, the first experience with a book is Corduroy by Don Freeman. Even though I like some books, I feel that my first experiences with reading were not very good. It began with the starter books that have about five words on a page and a lot of pictures. I think the reason I didn't have good experiences is because it seemed like I was being forced to read these books when I was little. Honestly the first book I remember liking is Mr. Popper's Penguins by Richard and Florence Atwater. I liked this book because it was a good story and I was allowed to choose it myself. My reading journey has been quite hectic. At first I didn't really like reading, because it took so long, but as I found better books, it began to move faster. It's strange, at times I hate reading, but other times it's great. Right now I hate reading some assigned books, but reading is alright when I am able to choose the book myself. As a reader I am comfortable, I just hope to be able to read faster and stop procrastinating.
