Thinking Back... Assignment 1. Taryn Gill

My parents would always let me pick out a book before bed time and I would hop into bed and get ready for them to come read to me. I normally picked out something with a bright cover and fun designs. My favorite books growing up were the Junie B. Jones books and as I got older I read The Babysitters Club. Reading was always a lot of fun for me and I enjoyed the experience of learning something new or just reading for the adventure. When I got into Elementary School my teachers all read to me, in a group with the other kids, normally in the morning when we would be sitting on the carpet around the teacher in a rocking chair.
Books I read as an adult have inspired me to do things in my life that I had never thought of before, but as a child I was never really inspired by a book, although I enjoyed them. I read now when I have the time, the last book I read, which is my favorite book, is the Catcher and the Rye. I am in the middle of My Sister's Keeper now.

  3. I loved the Junie B. Jones books as a kid but I never got into the Babysitters Club books. I had them all but read maybe half of one. Catcher in the Rye and My Sister's Keeper are 2 of my all time favorite books. Holden Caulfield is my favorite character from a book, except for Pony Boy in The Outsiders.
