Reading for Leisure

Hey pals,


When I was a kiddo I was a total bookworm. I don't remember using the internet or computer much until age twelve, but I do remember lounging around in my room reading and weekly visits to the library. It's probably not surprising to hear that I wasn't exactly a social butterfly. 


Eventually my love for reading faded away after required readings for high school and college dominated my hours, and I just never felt like reading anymore. Now I'm a fourth year graphic design student, and hardly read for school, so reading for fun is making a comeback into my life.

I received It Chooses You by Miranda July as a Christmas gift from Charlie. I finished it in two sittings, and loved it so much! Her writing is so thoughtful and interesting and connected with my emotional nature.


Reading this book reminded me that I actually enjoy reading for leisure, so I quickly picked up a used copy of an earlier July book, No One Belongs Here More Than You, and so far I am enjoying.

Seriously though, you should all read It Chooses You. It was great, if I could give it as a gift to all of my friends I would.
