Think About Your Reading Experiences

1. Some students struggle to "get into the zone" when it comes to reading, or finding time to read. Do you have a favourite place to read, or somewhere that makes reading especially relaxing or appealing?

2. Is there a particular time of day you find reading enjoyable or easy?

3. Think about the authors whose books you enjoy.
- Who do you like?
- Why do you like them? What is it about their style that attracts you?
- Have you enjoyed all their titles, or only some? Why is that?

4. Do people recommend books to you? Friends, teachers, parents, siblings?
- Do you share similar tastes with them?
- Who have you recommended books to?
- Which books / authors?
- What was their response? What feedback did they give you?

5. Think about the book(s) you've been reading this semester.
- Does the style of a particular author remind you of another author you've read previously?
- Track down some biographical information on two of these 'similar' authors - you may find some similarities in their backgrounds. In your blog, report what you find.
