I read for a slew of reasons. Some of them being for school and some of them being for personal use/knowledge. To be honest I hate reading for school. Reading a book as an entire class is boring and takes forever to finish. I love to read books for myself because I can start and stop on any page that I want, I can read any book that I want. I also don’t have to write reports or have to be metacognitive about what I read. The genre that I like to read is historical fiction/historical. I like knowing about the past and reading eye witness accounts of what actually happened. My historical setting that I like to read about is the military. I like to find out how the military use to operate and how different back then was from now. These are the reasons that I like to read.
