What interests me in a book is the subject matter and life situations that have the possibility of unfolding in my daily routine or life. I look for a story to be nonfiction and pertaining to my life, maybe not directly but in some form. I find myself reading on if I find a book that fits this category, rather than someone rambling about nothing. This is also how I choose my music interests.
I really love when books have a lot of details. I am able then to create visiuals in my mind. I can really relate to books that have tragic stories. Depressing stories usually intrigue me the most. I think sad stories are more real then sugar-coated stories. They make life seem TO PERFECT, and it's not.
When reading books my attention is kept by all the things that i don't know as a reader. That's what keeps me wanting to keep reading. "Like man this book is so good I can't put it down". I'm drawn to what the chracters go through to accomplish their goals. The mystery behind the thought or act of. I would say that I look for creativity. I look for the author to give me just enough to keep me wanting more and more. I mostly enjoy reading mystery novels. This way i know that my mind will be challenged.
For me what draws me to a book is the characters. The characters are the vehicle in wich the the story moves. I find it hard to believe a story can be good if the characters are not. The characters draw me in, they make laugh, or make me angry. When I embrace character that is when I can really invest myself in the story. Characters are what interest me.
What really interests me is a book that i can relate to or if it has one of my interests as a main idea. I feel that if i won't be able to relate to it i wont be as interested. Also if the book goes in depth with detail i really like that because i can sometimes imagine myself being there or in the situation.
Books that interests me is mostly books I could relate to. I really get into books that are meaningful in the world.I like to have a visual of a place, person or just an object on how it would affect me. I also like books that show a since of direction of where your life should go. Stay ahead of the world. Books are most interesting when you could really learn from it and make a situaton turn into a better one before it could become wrong. The character's in it self and the Situations that goes on keeps me reading more.
For me i need a book that has a fast pace. I tend to get really bored really easily while im reading. I enjoy a book that has a lot of actoin and comedy. something that keeps me entertained and keeps me wondering. I like books that make me think about a lot of different things. One book I have read that i really enjoyed was Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. It was extreamly interesting the whole time and always kept me wanting to read more.
For a book to interest me,I would say that the book would have to grab my interest,demand it almost. The book would also have to make me think about it even when not reading it. To keep my interest the book has to challenge my thoughts.
Look to Josh's answer as a good example of what is being looked for. Josh answer the question by saying both what he does and doesn't like.
I would like to see, even from Josh, some ability to connect to the text he has chosen for class and/or an example of a book that "rambles about nothing" or fits his preference for being more direct.
In these posts, watch consistency of subject and tense; keep the subject consistent (plural or singular) and the tense should remain the same in sentences. While you can switch from past to present to future to gerund in a response, there needs to be some transition between time changes.
Also, try to respond more fully. You have time in the computer lab to think and to really go into detail about your reading habits.
Perhaps you could ask questions about the questions being asked? Perhaps you could begin a conversation.
This is a place where our thinking and our writing come into contact. More importantly, this is where we come into dialogue with each other. Use this blog to discuss, to practice critical thinking, and to generate new writing.
