     Over the course of the semester, I have learned many things about myself as a reader that I didn't previously know. For some odd reason, my attention span has plummeted this semester. I used to be able to read books in 2 hours. Now it would probably take me 2 days to read the same book. One reason for this is I haven't really found a good book that I can't wait to sit down and read in a really long time. This semester it seems like it's been more about fulfilling the 2.5 hour requirement than finding a good book to enjoy.
     I have a big goal for next semester. This could be the gamechanger that I've needed this year. Next semester, I will double that list. The list above is 7 months of reading. I'm going to double it in 5. It's a big task for me to do that. Those were some long books (Palace Walk) and they challenged me like no others, but that list WILL be doubled by the time I leave this class. It will get done.
