Reformed Vampire - 3

Ok, so I'll admit it. I've abandoned this book. I know, I know - you're thinking, "Ms. Luthey, how could you? You are always telling us that it's important to stick with a book, even if you think that it's boring and that you have to struggle through difficult texts." Yeah, I know. And I DO believe that, for the most part. I do believe that you have to struggle through difficult texts because it will make you a better reader. And I do believe that getting through the boring parts will lead you to the better parts. However (and this is the kicker), I am an advanced reader and I have made my struggles and I have gotten through my difficult texts (when YOU'VE read Pride and Prejudice as many times as I have, you let me know). I know a boring book when I see one. I know when to take a risk and challenge myself and when to just let a book go. When you've become an advanced reader, you can make those decisions for yourselves. Since most of you have yet to read as many books as I have, I can be a walking contradiction. Until then, I WILL continue to make you struggle through difficult texts and I will continue to have you challenge yourself until you are an advanced reader. So there.
