The Notebook

Who are you as a reader?

• What is your reading identity? (For example, are you a voracious reader? a reluctant reader? a former reader? a reading addict or a reading novice?) Write a brief description of how you would describe yourself as a reader. Give an example to support the reading identity you describe for yourself.
  • I am a former reader. Although I read books, I don't read them that often and I am not a big fan of reading. However, once in a blue moon when I come across a good book I am really into it and can't put it down. I am into biographies, and normally I like to read sadder biographies with tragic events that happened to people, I'm not sure why. I guess it makes the novel seem more realistic and allows me to re-live the characters life more, than if the whole time they are living a happy life.
• Write a paragraph in which you discuss the current book you are reading. Give the author and title. If possible, find an image of your book, like the cover or any other relevant image, and put it in your blog entry (be sure to site your source from the web.) You should answer any 3 of the following questions:
• I am currently reading, The Notebook, by Nicholas Sparks. I am enjoying the book, and I like comparing to the movie, since I have seen it a bunch of times. So far I have gotten to the part when Noah and Allie are at the fair. Noah is hanging from a ferris wheel trying to impress Allie. He tells her he will let go on the ferris wheel if he doesn't go on a date with him. I love comparing this book to the movie, since I am such a big fan of the movie. When i first opened up the book I could replay the scenes in the movie along with the text I was reading. I am excited to continue reading this book and see how it relates to the movie. Also to see if I can picture the scenes as well in my head compared to the movie.
