What I do Best

I am not surprised in the least bit that I have not posted a blog in however long it is. I hate writing and I don't really care to post anything about my life right now cause I live around everyone that I care about or that cares about me. But why quit? I admittedly lost interest initially but I think I can stick this out. I am so good at loosing interest and just letting it go. Trust me, I have done it with hundreds of books. Most of the time I didn't even bother opening the book and reading a few pages or chapters, I just look at the cover and the title and there goes my interest in reading books altogether. But I've made the decision to follow this one through.

So with that I guess I better come up with something interesting to write about so that if there is someone bored enough to actually check my blog can have something to read. Since I mentioned books I guess I'll write about that. For those who don't know me, I have never liked reading. There has not been a good reasons for it, I guess I just didn't prefer it over playing sports, watching TV or playing a video game. Then as I came to realize that there may be something slightly more to life than those previous mentioned activities I decided that maybe I would take up reading books. But things didn't work out cause I couldn't really find any books that I liked to read. I liked reading the sports page of the paper and Sports Illustrated, but other than that I couldn't find anything that could keep me interested for more than 20-30 pages. Then, if I remember it correctly, my dad sort of made me read The Great Divorce by C. S. Lewis. What an awesome book and what an amazing author. I started reading a few more books by C. S. Lewis like Out of the Silent Planet, the Screwtape Letters and s few of his essays. I would have read more but I moved on to the Book of Mormon and Our Search for Happiness to prepare for a two year LDS mission. Then on my mission in Korea I of course only read scripture and books published by the church. But during that time I learned to love to read scripture also. Then after I came back I got too busy with school that I didn't really pick any novels/books. This summer I finally decided to read The Bourne Identity. Solid read. Then I reread The Great Divorce...better than I remembered it. Now I am making more time to read the space trilogy novels of C. S. Lewis. I have finally matured to the point where I read books, what an improvement.
