612937 My Book Junction Boys

The book I choose to read was called "The Junction Boys". I greatly like this book so far because I can relate to it having also played football. Also I can sympathize with there struggles and pain, this book greatly interests me and I often find myself reading it simply because I enjoy it, not because I have too.

The Reading History of Anthony Dembia

     As a child, I clearly remember detesting reading.  My hatred of reading was fueled simply by the fact that I saw no value in have the ability to read. My first book I can remember was "Floopy Mop". I loved the book because it was more picture than words. Ever since then I've read and enjoyed it greatly.

     My journey of reading has been an interessting one. I went throught parts of my life where all I would do was read all day. Other parts I would not even glance at the cover of a book. Currently I am neutral about reading, if it is a good book I will read it allot, but if it does not appeal to me I would not read it. My friends and family have definately influenced how I read, but in opposite ways. My mother is an avid reader and has always been. It was she who first got me into reading. My friends on the otherhand looked down on reading as something "nerds did", so this was what instigated the first time when I ceast to read for along time.

     As far as my goals for reading go, I want to be able to read certant books like "Ethics" by Aristotle and understand them. To reach this goal it will still take conciderable time, because recently I tried to read said book and failed. One day I hope to be able to read almost any piece of literature and understand it completely.
