To Read or Not to Read

Many of my colleagues know that I don't "like" to read. I must really concentrate in order to read especially if I have other things to do. I feel like reading for pleasure comes last, if at all. When I read over the summer, it is usually when I have finished all my chores and have plenty of extra time. I can read a novel if the first few pages grab my attention, other wise I abandon it.

I absolutely will read through a cookbook and marvel at all the possibilities. I do love to read magazines, usually back to front. The newspaper is fun since I can read the first few sentences in an article and get the gist of what is being said.

I actually love to read "how to articles" and then give it a try.

I read a lot of emails, professional development articles and books, and personal information like insurance policies etc...

To read or not to read, that is my dilemma.
