to read or not to read

I sat down, read two sentences, saw my computer sitting in front of me and thought I'll blog instead. I lay in my bed trying to be a "deep reader" and realize I'm a better deep sleeper. I wake up early to finish my reading and say to myself "I'll do better in all my classes today if i get this extra hour of sleep." I find myself thinking of every possible excuse for why I'm not reading. I usually enjoy reading, so why is it that I just cant make myself read it, even when im stuck in my dorm room on a rainy day with absolutely nothing to do besides facebook stalk people (which usually is quite entertaining but after an hour or so gets quite repetitive.) Well I've discovered the answer. It's because I thoroughly dislike this book. Or maybe I just don't like the author. Her structure I just find choppy and extremely hard to follow. I find myself turning the page having no idea what I had read on the page before. As we sat in class and discussed the reading all I was interested in was the story behind the death of her. So wish me luck as I am off to go find another excuse for not reading.
