moonwiseWhen I was a kid, I read voraciously, and was always having one book or another taken away in class.
As I got older, I didn't read quite as much, and with the advent of the Internet, somehow the number of books I read a year fell off dramatically. It was bothersome - like I'd lost a talent.
On Friday after work, I went to Borders and picked up a copy of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," intending to make it last for a weekend.
It didn't last an hour and a half.
It was good to know that was still possible - to be so engrossed in a book that you can't stop reading even for dinner or a trip to the potty.

Is it that you didn't enjoy what you were given to read, or that you were forced to read at all? For me, assigned reading was something of a treat because now it was my assignment to read in class.
