I learned to read a long time ago. I grew up around people that love to read. I personaly hate reading, but my whole family loves reading.
   My grandmother was a librarian so she wanted me to read when i was younger but i would rather go outside and shoot something than stay all cooped up in a house reading. My mom is a school teacher to so she loves to read, but I still hate reading. Reading is just so boring, unless it is talking about hunting or fishing. I dont see how other people just sit there and read a whole book in like two hours, I would kill myself. My grandma can go buy a book and go home and have it finished the same day she bought it. If I go buy a book it will sit on my shelf for like five years and then it will get thrown away. I just dont enjoy books like other people do.
  My whole life I have hated reading and I still do. I wish that I liked it but its so boring to just sit there and read a book. There is a few more thing that influiced me to learn to read. I love hunting and there is alot of reading in hunting. You have to read posted signs so the gamewardens wont catch you trespassing on other peoples property. I have a freind that caught tresspassing and he almost went to jail. So this is another reason why I hate reading.
