My favorite book

"Where Men Win Glory" by Jon Krakauer is my favorite book I have ever read. It is a true story about a football player named Pat Tillman who gave up his career to fight for our country. He was killed by friendly fire during his time in Afganistan. This is my favorite book because it is a mix of my two favorite things to read about, war and sports.

The book talks a lot about Pat's football career. His time in high school, college and his short time in the NFL. I really enjoyed learning about how great of a player he was because when he played I was very young and I didn't really pay attention to the NFL. I also really liked the war aspect of the book. It was very interesting to learn about the government cover up of the killing and how the truth came out.

Reasons I do not enjoy reading

I do not enjoy reading because I find it very boring and I would much rather be doing other things. Reading to me is like a chore, and I find no pleasure in it at all. I do not mind reading one book every couple of months, but I hate when I have to read a book in a very short amount of time. I would much rather be outside or watching TV then reading.

I really hate reading when I am forced to read a book for school. The books are always horrible and I am never interested in them. I only like reading books about sports, and in school all we do is read horrible books such as Chocolat and Nectar and a Sieve. Those two books were possbily the worst things I have ever read in my life and I wasted valuable time reading them.

My Ideal Reading Situation

My ideal reading spot is in Cancun, Mexico on the beach. I need the weather at a crispy 75 degrees with the sun beating on my chest. I need to make sure my entire body is covered in sun screen because I am a pale person and I don't want to get burned like a lobster. I need a cold beverage with me, prefeably a Gatorade. If a Gatorade is not avabile my second opition would be a Brisk Iced Tea. After a while reading in the sun I would move under the canapy where I would be faned by workers and fed grapes by exiotic women.

My ideal reading spot while at home is in my basement. I call my basement the dungeon and it is guarded by a magestic dragon named Louis. I have a fan in my basement that is constantly hitting me in the right spot, and it makes me very motivated to keep on reading. My fridge in my basement is stocked with an asortment of my favorite beverages such as Gatorades and even some Teddy B's.
