Why You Shouldn't Read Books You Don't Like
In college, I had a roommate who was an avid reader and book collector. Our dorm room overflowed with piles and boxes of books. Personally, as a book lover myself, I didn't mind this. Believe it or not, she and I were both English majors, and the contents of the books we read often fueled our many conversations. In addition to discussions and geek-outs over the stories we loved, we also had several talks about the act of reading itself, and literature impacted our lives. Although these discussions were often celebrations of authors and their contribution of great stories to the world, they also revealed some key differences in the ways that different book lovers consume literature and think about the ways in which it is to be enjoyed.
