Read more non-fiction

Well, it’s been three months and I’ve just finished the first title. Margaret Atwood’s “Payback.” I’m reading two other non-fictions, though, so there IS consistency. Let’s see if I can finish six in three months.

I was reading a pretty interesting article today in Newsweek about our decline as a Christian nation, but i didn’t get to finish it. So far I liked reading non-fiction because it keeps more informed about what is going on in the world.

I’d really like to read at least 6 books, and read them during a 3-month period. I think it would feel like I had a bit of consistency if I could do it in that amount of time.

so i mostly read fiction, but in order to prepare for my AP English exam i have to read more non-fiction.

Around a year or two ago I started reading a ton of new non-fiction books and loved how informed it made me feel in addition to feeling so satisfied with accomplishment after finishing a book. School has taken up alot of time not to mention how much time I spend online doing nothing. Also, I find myself watching too much TV and honestly most of it is trashy reality and talk shows. So I’d really like to get back into the habit of reading more instead of spending time with entertainment that requires lasers and microchips.

I am smart but I don’t feel like it when people seem to know more then me.

I CAN fix this.
I need to get in touch with the world.

I’ve been doing this. The ratio which i read non-fiction to fiction is about 4 to one. I think it’s time to change this goal to read more books.

shameless plug here…

I run a non-ficiton book review websiate at www.lettersonpages.com. There are a lot of reviews there (and constantly adding more!) for people to look at and see if any are interesting.

need to get working on some biology textbooks.

But I’ve started reading nonfiction about things I like and am interested in.

Sustainable farming and living.
Adults with mental illnesses
Women’s issues and beauty

I’m sure there’s more that I’ll become interested in, but for now, that’s my current reading list.
