Reading Books

I'm going to share something with you all. It's something a little personal, that I don't like most people to know. I'm a bit of a bookworm. When I was in primary school, I read a lot. My mother taught my brother and I to read at a young age, and we were both able to do so before kindergarten. My brother stood up on the introduction day of kindergarten- where the parents take the kids to school and meet the teacher and learn what kindergarten is all about- and read the syllabus out loud the room. I was shier than he was and refused to do so when my mom tried to make me two years later. Yup. When I was little I read through the whole Junie B. Jones series, and was very sad once I finished. Harry Potter was another one, a series I've read several times over. I used to tear through books like there was no tomorrow. This Twilight Zone episode pretty much sums it up: 
 I was that guy- minus mustache and glasses.Truth be told, my heart breaks for him at the ending. But after 6th grade, however, I quit reading as much. It was too nerdy and I didn't want anybody to think I was a nerd. Now, I don't really care- high five for self confidence! I do however, still struggle in finding good books to read. So a few days ago, I stumbled upon a link goodreads.com and made myself an account. Admittedly, some of the literature I devote my time to is somewhat embarrassing, namely the romantic genre, but I can't quite figure out how to take that off of the display without deleting it from my "read" shelf, which I do not want to do, because then I couldn't get recomendations for other cheesy romantic novels :)
