Reflection of this Year's Reading

This year, I felt as though I've expanded my interest level to all kinds of different types of books.  I also have increased my reading level as well. Mainly before this year, I read about books that have a lot of violence and mystery.  I normally tend to lose interest in the book after a while because I already know whats going to happen at the end.  And I also know that the pages are too lengthy.  Although, I recieved a huge wake up call my freshman year.  I didn't really expect to be reading all types of genres such as romantic, allegories, epic, and books related to historic periods(slavery).  Most of them were very lengthy.  Some were around the range of 300 to 400 pages long, and they weren't the easiest to read.  There were certain details that you couldn't miss.  So I spent a lot of extra time rereading to get a vivid image of what was going on.
With posting outside reading this year, I feel way more comfortable with certain issues now.  I've found different strategies and techniques to sort out the important themes and plots of stories.  I've learned a lot this year and improved skills that I was weak in.  Certain skills like understanding certain literary devices and elements in books are now clear to me.  I also tend to not lose focus in books, and keep on reading.  With the expansion of the variety of genres read, I now have increased my reading skills better than before.  For example, I am reading a new book now called Prospector.  It isn't really a book that would interest me before my freshman year.  Although now, this type of book which is a romantic book about how a embarrising kid similar to a steve eurkal type character.  It also is a comedy.  Any way what I'm trying to say is that this year has improved my reading comprehensive skills and has made me comfortable to stepout of my comfort zone.
