15. Reading for Fun

Reading can be fun, when it is for fun and there is not any connection between the book and a class or a project. I used to read all the time for fun, but this year has gotten way to hectic for me to have time to just relax and read a book. When I did read for fun though, I would read things like James Patterson, Clive Cussler, and other authors who wrote mysteries. James Patterson was definitely my favorite. He has so many great books and the thing about them that I love so much is that they are so good, that you can read them more than once without getting bored with it! Normally I like books that are realistic and not like science fiction, but Patterson has a series called Maximum Ride, and the books are about a family of mutated orphans who live together, and use their abilities such as wings and other more individual things to...protect the world, basically. I know it sounds lame, it sounds lame even to me as I typed it, but honestly, they are such good books. I would also recommend Sail by Patterson, it is also really good. Another favorite author of mine, but I have not read since probably freshman year is Dee Henderson. The cool thing about her books are that are personable and easy to relate to. Her Negotiator series is about the O'Malley family who live in Chicago. It is a seven book series and I loved every one of them a lot. Like I said before, I enjoy leisurely reading, but I have not been able to do so as much as I would like to so far this school year because of all the homework I have had. If I had the free time, I would probably spend it reading some good mystery books, unfortunately I do not. So for now, reading for fun will have to wait.
