While a student I barely managed to read anything. Even weekly readings for classes were a chore. I think the amount of rehearsals that persisted for ten years was to blame. After all, who wants to concentrate with all their might on reading (the norm for dyslexics) after having weighed tone, pitch, volume, and character for 8 hours.
Perhaps I shouldn't be surprised, then, at my achievements since finishing school this May. I have read more in four months than I had previously read in a year. Here's a list of the things I've finished so far...
Barack Obama The Audacity of Hope
Larry J. Sabato A More Perfect Constitution
Kurt Vonnegut Slaughterhouse Five
Thomas Mann The Magic Mountain
Stephen R. Covey Seven Habits of Highly Effective People
