The first book I remember having read to me was "Good Night Moon". I would go on to read this to my little brothers later on in life.

The first book report I wrote was quite unique in that I had to send the protagonist of the book I read on an international trip in order to complete the report. This was my 1st grade "Flat Stanley" assignment where my grandmother took my Flat Stanley cut-out to Jamaica

Once I had to read the same book three years in a row for class. Normally, I would enjoy do this but the book we were rereading was "Tuck Everlasting" which I didn't even like the first time I read it. All I can say is that I had a hard time relating to or understanding any of the decisions made by any of the characters. And don't even get me started on the film adaptation.

The oldest recorded story of Gilgamesh King of Uruk and his adventure through life. What I love most about this book as how the core messages holds up even thousands of years after if was orignally written.

Going into High School, I was tired of fantasy and decided to move to science fiction preferring its more unique settings and storytelling. I jumped right in, reading "Dune", Isaac Asimov's Empire Series, and numerous Star Wars novels.

This summer I was able to finish "The Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius and now I am in the process of reading "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu. I plan on taking on the philosophical genre going into the future.
