The book I read this marking period was White Noise, by Don Delillo. It followed the life of a man named Jack and his family. The book was extremely stark with its descriptions and talked a lot about the natural evil inside of everyone, including the main character. As a result, most of the characters were fairly well rounded since the reader could see both the good and bad in each character's life. It also discussed different mentalities and thought processes that gave me different insights on how people interact. However, White Noise was a little descriptive in some situations for my liking.
In the beginning of the marking period, I was too relaxed about reading the SSR book I chose. I regularly read in class but never spent very much time reading outside of class. By the last week of the marking period I was only halfway through my book. As a result, I spent tons of time trying to catch up and barely finished White Noise the night before. However, because I had to speed read around a third of the book, I did not understand as much of it as I could have. For the next marking period, I will try to spend much more time reading outside of class. By doing this, hopefully I will understand the book at a greater level. http://www.booksbuyer.com/the-advantages-and-disadvantages-of-reading-books-fast/
