Reader Autobiography

People read to be entertained and to have something to talk about with their friends. A reader is a person who reads on their own time and wants to read to grasp more knowledge. In order to receive the title of a reader one must be able to read about anything and everything. If someone wants to become a "good" reader that person would have to learn how to read any kind of text. My favorite author is Suzanne Collins because in her Hunger Games series she used very good plots that helped one event fit ith another. I consider myself a reader because in everyday of my life I have to read something at some point of time, going from a a small question to an entire packet full of paragraphs. I consider my reader but I do not consider myself a "good" reader because I do not read books unless I have to and reading big texts voluntarily is not one of my favorite things to do. A "reader" would be part of my identity and would describe me more than a "good" reader. When I read voluntarily I read questions for homework, essay prompts, etc. and a "good" reader reads what he wants when he wants to. I learned how to read from my school and from my parents. They would always read to me and teach me how to spell out words to read. As a reader I am neither blocked or passionate because I like to read but not very much, but if I had to choose I would consider me blocked because I do not read unless necessary and I am not really passionate about reading. As a reader I would like to improve my pace at which I read because at the moment it's descent but if I read faster that would be beneficial in the long run. When I read I read about mysteries, adventures, and anything else that interests me. I enjoy reading about adventures the most because when I read about them it seems as if I am there. I am required to read boring stories that do not interest me and are just for me to read for a grade. The readings that I fear would have to be the ones that are worth a major grade in school and also the readings that are big and confusing. What I gained from this reflection of me as a reader is that I am a reader that likes simplicity and small texts. This process was fun because I got to reflect upon myself being a reader.
