My Favorite Media

I love books and love reading. Therefore, my favorite media is books. I read when I get tired of doing homework or studying or cleaning. I read a few chapters before I go to bed. I read while I eat breakfast in the morning and I read if I’m ready to go before I have to leave. Reading helps me relax and unwind. It puts my mind in another place. I read most any kind of book; funny, mystery, romance, children’s. If it’s available and near to me, I’ll probably read it.
I never read just one book at a time. Right now I’m reading Memoirs of a Geisha and The Oz Chronicles, Volume 1. It’s not that I get tired of reading one and have to switch to another. I just like to keep myself on my toes and interested in the stories. Sometimes I just need a little time to think about a story, so I switch to another book to reflect. I t might sound bizarre and a little contradictory, but it works for me.
I would be extremely upset if books were taken away from me. I found that out last semester when I was student teaching. When I wasn’t actually at school teaching, I was creating lesson plans, preparing materials, eating or sleeping. I was too tired at the end of the day to pick up a book. I couldn’t take a little break from reality to zone out with a book.
Not reading really bummed me out. I think I could get through most days pretty easily without magazines, television or a computer. Losing the phone would be difficult too, since I use it to keep in touch with family and friends. But books are my number one media.
