    Default Reading.. good or badin summer

    Hey someone was saying that i had talked to online that i was weir dor something for reading in summer and i disagree totally. Reading although boring if you pick the books not for you is stupid it is great and helps you learn a lot and i think you should read it all year round if there is a book for you.

    What do you guys think?

    What a silly topic.

    Hmn, I'd say anyone giving you shit for reading is an ass, as there's nothing wrong with reading whenever you feel like it. Even during the Summer.

    No, I don't find anything wrong with reading in summer. I myself don't read a lot. I haven't read in ages. The grade levels below 12th grade here have to read over the summer anyway.

    The Summer months are the best times to read, actually. During the summer, you can just sit on your porch with a book and a cup of lemonade and relax. Aside from the relaxation of it, you can use this time to focus on your book and ignore everything that's going on around you, so long as you don't have a job.

    If you're lucky, you can even read while you're on the job, too. I used to work in a library, and even working now with an education organization for special education, I have plenty of time to read.

    I, needless to say, love reading, and don't understand people who don't. Especially if they are so pushy about their own dislike. I wouldn't worry about it so much, and recommend you just have fun the way you like.

    Reading is a godsend during summer break. I get bored with games way too fast.

    I'm quite disappointed in myself. I don't read. Can anyone reccomend something for me to read? Then I could report back here with a better response.

    You just copy and paste the stuff you want to quote. Or you can hit the quote button, copy it, go back to your original post and paste it there. Now stop double posting.

    Worry not. However, now that you know how to do it, I'm gonna just delete any double posts you or anyone else makes... because I'm an asshole.
