Blog #2- Katie Taylor

If I'm being honest, I rarely read outside of required reading for school. The books I can remember reading this past year were Little Women, The Great Gatsby, Tina Fey's memoir, Amy Poehler's memoir, and maybe one more that I'm forgetting. I used to have a love for reading in elementary and middle school, and I feel bad because sometimes my parents bring that up when shaming me for spending so much time on electronics. For me, books I genuinely enjoy are usually ones that are written by a funny person. All around, I enjoy comedy the most out of any other genre. Funny enough, (no pun intended), I also really enjoy classic pieces of literature. I adored Little Women and The Great Gatsby. Reading about drama from 100+ years ago just really makes me think about how different but still the same we are after all these years. I want to read more classics, but honestly they are like a hit-or-miss for me, and that kind of scares me off. For example, I remember when I tried to read Old Yeller and I almost fell asleep halfway through the first page. I guess that means I like books that are pretty fast-paced- whether that means through jokes or drama. So yeah, that's basically my two main types of book.
