As I worked on my infographic, I realized that there actually was a time in my childhood when I loved to read. I don't remember having any books, and I don't remember my parents reading to me. I do remember having a set of Encyclopedia Britannica, and I would read sections and write 'book reports' on various topics. One 'report' I clearly remember was on bees. Another on snakes. I had no choice but to read nonfiction!
My next reading memory was middle school. I had to read To Kill A Mockingbird every year of middle school. I can't even remember what the book is about at this point, or why I was so turned off. To this day, I literally do not reread a book. Ever. This thought will come full circle in a moment.
Throughout high school, I got by reading Cliff Notes and talking to classmates about the books I was suppose to read. I never completed a book. I tried many times, but never finished even one novel. I still graduated in the top 10% of my class, and I took A.P. classes, and never had to read a book.
In college, I had to take a course in Children's Literature. That was when I read the book, Are You There God, It's Me Margaret. I'm not sure why I never read that book as a child. That is literally the only book I remember reading during that class, and it impacted my life severely. I enjoyed a book!
Then, something happened. I started reading novels, and by the dozens. All genres. Various authors. I couldn't stop. Free books, paperbacks, hardcover, audiobooks...
At one point, I had purchased a book that I had already read. I came to this conclusion somewhere in the middle of the book, and I was so mad at myself for buying a book I had already read. Of course I put the book down. Then it happened again. And again. Finally, I bought a small pocket-sized phone book to write down the titles of books I read. That way, I wouldn't re-buy books I already read. I still do not reread books. Perhaps middle school scarred me in more ways than one.
Below is the infographic I completed for the class I'm taking. It is a reflection of my personal reading journey. I encourage you to think about your journey, and talk to a friend about it.
