Book Log and Reading Details

The books I've read so far this semester: (from hardest to easiest)

1. In Defense of Food: an Eater's Manifesto

2. Nation

3. Crank, Ellen Hopkins

4. The Outsiders

5. Lord of the Flies

6. The Coldest Winter Ever, Sister Souljah

7. Purge Rehab Diaries, Nicole Johns

8. This is Our Faith, Michael Francis Pennock

Due to my hectic school schedule, I haven't been able to read as many books as I had aspired to. Even though every book I read was interesting, I wish I had more time to read on my own without feeling restricted because of my time limit. To be honest, I haven't learned anything about myself as a reader this semester. I do notice, though, that if I'm really fond of a book, I don't ever want to stop reading. However, my weaknesses include forgetting some characters that were introduced in the beginning, unexpectedly leave, and show up again. I don't really have a sharp memory, so that's one of my weak points. 

My main goal for the next semester is to read as much as I can, but also keep track of what types of books I read. I'll try to expand the types of books I read. I don't like reading nonfiction books at all, but I will try to find a nonfiction book that I will enjoy (even though that will be hard.) Also, I want to find some books that deal with other cultures and nationalities. I think other cultures are fascinating, but I can't find foreign books that seem interesting or makes sense to me.
