This semester I’ve got a lot of reading to do every day, primarily because I’m taking two psych classes. In general, I actually like reading, but I really can’t stand reading textbooks. They’re long, boring, and overall can’t keep my attention. I’d read a whole page and then realize that I was actually thinking about something else the whole time. None of the stuff I just read is actually in my head now. It’s horrible.
I wish that, in general, the books we had to read for class were more interesting. They don’t have to be fiction or anything, but textbooks in general (the big hardcover ones) just seem so high school to me. I realize there’s times nothing else will work, but for the most part I think lecture could be used for most of the “textbooky” things, and the books we have could be interesting supplements to the material. Oh, I’d love that so much more.
