This semester and summer, I read Nation, a few short stories, NoMansLand, The Housekeeper and the Professor, In Defense of Food, Feed (in order from most challenging to least challenging).
I have come to the conclusion the efficiency of my reading is influenced on the story. Depending on the book, my reading speed varies. Books I enjoy are normally ones that have unique story lines. For example, Feed is set in a future where a society relies entirely on a computer chip implanted into their brains. I liked this book because it not only is original, it strays from the zombie cliche you would expect to see. My reading skills could be interpreted in this situation as one of my weaknesses - I'm a very picky person. However, I think I've developed strong reading HABITS. I most of the time read in quiet places, devoid of distraction. Rarely I'll have the problem of not being able to read due to interruptions.
Next semester I will try to expand my reading list. In the past, I've always been stuck reading fiction stories. This semester, however, I want to read other genres, mainly nonfiction. The reason I'm looking into nonfiction books is because of our summer reading this year. I know numerous students despised In Defense of Food but I found it both interesting and informational. For this reason, I'm curious to explore what our library has in store for me.
