I rarely read books. My ADD keeps my attention span to a minimum :P So, I basically read magazines and the newspaper. Things have to be short and to the point. But this year, I was able to accomplish one of my life's goals, which was to read
War and Peace by
Tolstoy. It took me 5-6 months to finish it, but I was able to do it
I think the only thing that kept me interested in reading such a long novel was the love stories within it
I didn't care much for the historical context of it...Napoleon Bonaparte and his wars was never an interesting subject for me.
The only other things I read were requirements for school.
I was very fond of
Jack London's "Sea Wolf". I can't remember the author, but
Where The Red Fern Grows was a very moving story.
