Book Review 1

What Book I have chosen?

The book I have chosen to read is about a guy who was in the army called James Wharton, it is about his life in the army and his personal life about being a gay man and in the army.  The book as been given some very good reviews on Waterston's website, because of this I have pick this book to read as I am gay myself and I would like to find out what it was like for him being gay and in the army life.

One of the reviews?
Touching & authentic”

Hardback edition

I really enjoyed this book. The author's voice felt authentic and true. It gave a fascinating insight into the military and was very reassuring about the basic decency of most people who work in that profession. The book was particularly moving because it demonstrated that ordinary lives can become extraordinary.

The problem that i have is that i have never read a official book ever in my life,  i would like to take it upon my self to solve this problem.

What are the main factors effecting me?

The main factors effecting me are that when i start to read a book that i loss interest very quickly, i also don't like the fact that it is in uniform print and monotone colors.  I also think that i have not pick a book that is interesting to me in anyway that wants me start reading it so i give up.

Suggested way to solve my problem?

i will have to pick a book that is interesting to me, plus from a genre that i have never tried to read from before that is about something a i find interesting.  Another way to solve my book reading problem is to only read a chapter or two every night and in my spare time.
