I love to read, but don't have much time when I'm in school b/c instead of reading for pleasure, I'm forced to read for class or work on assignments/papers

In the summer I always read a ton...and even on breaks.

I agree that a lot of people say they don't like to read b/c they associate it with what they were forced to read in school.

That's what happened to me when I read my first book out of school by choice I loved it
