"I have no clue what's going on!" The story of my life when it comes to reading. I will be sitting in my room, nose in my book. I look at the clock, and then at my book. It's been two and a half hours and I have read 20 pages, and worst of all, I do not know what the heck is going on in the story. I find myself thinking. Thinking about everything but my book. Books have never been for me but that has to change. I get excited when I can read something for a while and really get into it.
