Is That Reading?!

By Maria de Jesús Prado Vite

And you, how do you read? Sitting?Standing on one foot? Lying down?Upside down? As long as you don't risk your life reading while you walk across avenues, how to read is up to you. Now,where do you read? On the bench of the park? On the roof of your building? In the bedroom? On the bus? As long as you don't read in the shower, no problem.

There are lots of people who think they don't read, but they do. For example, a friend's daughter named Genoveva fools herself into thinking that she doesn't read because when she starts a book, she soon gets tired and stops reading: a few

days later, she continues reading a little bit more, she gets tired again and stops reading, so the days pass by, and it may take her months to finish the book. For this reason, Genoveva thinks she doesn't read. So, like many other people, she thinks that reading"for real"is to focus on reading without stopping until she finishes, and things are not quite like that. You don't need to"read for real"or not, "read good"or"read bad."Everyone reads in their own way and pace, the way they want, the way they can, the way they like, or the way they need.
