Post 1: Why Do YouRead?

I read because I find it enjoying and feel like I can escape the realities of life, and just become a person who is watching the book unfold like a bystander would watch a car go by, but I also read when I am required to for school. When I decide to read when I’m not required, I seem to find some inspiration in the book. I believe that reading can enhance your mind, and I when I was younger I was always surrounded with books that my parents wanted me to read. I believe that reading can enhance one’s mind because it allows the reader to have to think and comprehend the plot and actions that are taking place in the novel. Another reason that I read is because there is such a widespread selection of genres and books to read, and the more genres and books you read, you gain knowledge on topics that you may never thought would appeal to you. I also think that reading is becoming a more widespread way selling new technologies which would appeal to people who may not want to read. These new technologies are also a reason why I read, and want me to use these technologies.

Book Recommendation: Fat Kid Rules the World

I would recommend the novel Fat Kid Rules the World for anyone who is looking for a book that is comedic but has some reality to it. It is the story of a 300 pound, 6 foot 1 inch high school senior named Troy Billings. He has no friends, but with the help of a high school drop-out, Troy learns that he can still succeed in life. The high school drop-out would be school legend Curt McCrae. He is the one who saves Troy from jumping in front of an on-coming train in an attempt to take his own life. The two of the most unlikely people become great friends and help each other make it through the hard times in life. Troy and Curt don't just become great friends, they become something greater.
