I stopped reading books for fun until about 8th grade.

It was so powerful and meaningful to me and made me realize how powerful and enjoyable books can be. After reading this, I shifted to reading more meaningful and adult books.

I really enjoyed it and it gave me an appreciation for more classic literature.

Usually if the first couple chapters are boring and the book has a slow start, I will stop reading it. This is something I struggled with while reading "Jane Eyre".

    This is a link to Elie Wiesel's Nobel Prize acceptance speech which I did a project on in 10th grade after being inspired by this book.

When she was much younger it was difficult to find books that would challenge her reading skills, but not expose her to content she wasn't ready for. With that barrier removed, there are so many good books to enjoy.

Books are something that we can talk about together and bond over which makes me very happy.

He has shared his love for nonfiction with me and to this day it is something I enjoy reading.

It's something that makes us different and that makes us both happy.
