Lin- Assignment 2

     I have not spent that much time reading over the summer and during the school year. The only book that I have read over the past 12 months is The Years of Rice and Salt. That book was for my book report with Mr. Wise and it was about an alternate reality where history is created in different settings. It gave me new ideas and new perspectives on history and the human story in general. I haven't read any books besides that but I constantly read news articles that are much quicker to read through online. I don't have that much time to get into a book and read it through. News articles are quick bits of material that I can quickly read it and get some information out of it. As I go through this year I will try to get more opportunities to read. Some extra time can be diverted into reading.
