Blog#1 Myself as a Reader

My name is Matt, and I don't honestly read much for enjoyment. Generally the only time I will sit down and read a book is for school mainly in English class. When I do read books for school though most of the time I end up really enjoying them anyway so I don't mind it. The most recent books I've read for school include: Life of Pi, Lord of the Flies, and couple of other plays. I enjoyed both of these books because of the rich stories in them. Books I choose to read for enjoyment are fictional and action packed/sci-fi with a good story to it one of the last books I've read for enjoyment myself is The Rangers Apprentice: The Ruins of Gorlan by John Flanagan.

So the current book I've chosen to read in English is, 

Three Day Road by: Joseph Boyden:

I chose Three Day Road simply, because I thought the story title, and cover caught my eye. The book also seemed like it would have a good story too it, and so far it does. My expectation for this book was that I it would read smoothly for an average reader like myself, and that the story is enjoyable. I'm about seventy pages into the book of almost four hundred, and it's pretty interesting so far which I will talk about in my next blog post!
