Reading is hard for me when I’m tired. Have you ever felt the same way? Reading is like immersing myself into a new world, real or unreal. I enjoy reading because it leads me into someplace different from my world. I also always hyperfocus during reading because my mind is too into it. The effects of hyperfocusing for me are that my face may look emotionless, but my mind is thinking and bursting with thoughts and emotions. (Wrap it up)
When I was very young, I thought reading was boring. I wouldn’t read the books my mom wanted me to read. So now, I go back to read the books my mom wanted me to read, but she says that the books are too easy for me. However, I still enjoy reading them and the books my mom says are my level.
My family and I used to keep over 100 books in our mini library, most of them still unread. When we were stuck in Taiwan because of COVID, we couldn’t bring our books. But eventually we stacked up another mini library containing new books, harder and longer. Now, moving into America has left us with around 30 books, as they are being safely kept by our grandparents in Taiwan. I hope we can build up another array of books soon, that way, I won’t have to worry about hurting my eyes too much from reading e-books.
When I was little, the school library bought a new book called Dog Man, which I know is a comic book now. But back then, I thought the book would be only full of words and was not for my level. My mom begged me to read it but I refused. When I finally agreed, I realized it was a graphic novel and enjoyed reading it very much. This taught me not to literally judge a book by its cover. So now when I am searching for an interesting book, I always read the summary in the first pages, and from that I decide if I want to read it. Comment below for any reading experiences you had before, and thank you for reading my blog.
