If someone tested you on the last book you read for fun, what grade would you get?

Published

I would receive an A. I remember more when I read for pleasure than for school. I think that its much easier to remember something I'm interested in, than to memorize boring information for exams. :)

A-,B+, but only 'cos its the end of the quarter, so I haven't had much free reading time yet. I'm going to be hitting up the public library after my last test, though.

A+, no doubt. I DEVOUR books I enjoy (wish I could say the same for nursing texts) and actually crave reading my favorites more than once. Read the Harry Potter series in two weeks and the Twilight series in one week. No, I'm not 14!! Just wanted to see what all the fuss was.

Funny, I have to be very discreet in trying to find fellow "Twilighters." People think I'm a dork. Luckily there are several among my nursing school buddies! Blows my mind to see my imagination, fed from a book and on a movie screen, love it!!

I read PRIDE AND PREJUDICE back when I was in high school. Thought it was a cute--but boring when I was a teen. As an adult, I decided to read the twisted version--PRIDE AND PREJUDICE AND ZOMBIES. Silly, but awesome read! Then came to find out it was one of the top selling books from New York Times.

I am a voracious reader of all sorts of topics. One of the most interesting I read last year was "The Most Famous Man in America". It is a bio of Henry Ward Beecher, a famous preacher in the 19th century (Harriet Beecher Stowe's brother). Never knew the 19th century was so racy!
