in school vs out of school reading
Everyone prefers to read in a quiet area where they can focus on their book or the newspaper. Instantly I could tell from the first couple of pages, or from the description on the back of the book if I would be interested in the rest of the book. In most cases I have sought for my bedroom to read a book. Other times I just deal with my surroundings and work with the environment. If I am very interested in a book I am reading I will just simply tune everyone out until I decide I want to stop at a certain paragraph or chapter. It really bugs others when they realize that i am way to into a book to even comprehend what they are saying. Most likely Outside of school, though both are easy for me to accomplish; I would rather read in a comfortable, quiet place rather than of a place with people or noise. There would be times where I had multiple books at once and read two in one night, just curled up in my bed and read all these books.On the other hand reading in school is also the same in the fact that there are places and times in school where someone can seek refuge and quietly read a book; sneak off to the library, after a test, during study periods. But also there are times where there is nothing BUT noise surrounding me. Always people talking or working on assignments together, and I'm sure you don't want to read while the teacher is talking. In most cases I am highly sure that the majority of people would argue that reading is best if your doing it at home where you can be in a familiar, comfortable area without worrying about the same distractions you get at school or in the work area. That would most likely be my choice too. The only problem with that is sometimes when the surroundings are too comfortable or if I read too long there is a high chance that I would fall asleep. Out of school reading is definitely the best choice.
