Reflection

150 min - "A Rumor of War"
Before this year I had been stuck reading various fiction series such as the "Inheritance Cycle" and the newest "Percy Jackson" series.  This year my outside reading has included a wide variety.  I read a sci-fi series, "Halo", and an autobiography, "A Rumor of War".

I've learned this year that the quanity I read is strictly dependent upon my interest.  In other words, if I don't enjoy the books, I don't enjoy reading.  My interest seem to change over time, but continues to be focused on fantasy fiction.  I did enjoy the autobiography I read, "A Rumor of War", because it was a real and gave insight into an individual, not a group of people.   

Ive tried to see if there were ever any underlining meanings in the text that I've read, but I find this difficult.  Sometimes I found something, other times I didn't.  It really depends on the genre and author.  I think my next will be the third book in the new Percy Jackson series.  I will look around look around for new books to read.  Summer is usually a good time for me to try something new.
