Eileen - nonfiction

One source of nonfiction text that I remember as a kid is text books (especially history ones).  I remember doing the 'popcorn' reading of those texts - it was so boring!! I didn't think nonfiction could be interesting.  It was at the end of middle school when we read The Diary of Anne Frank that realized nonfiction could be really fascinating.  Like Lindy, I also remember using encyclopedias.  I really liked looking up the information in those books. Looking back, I liked finding books on topics when I had to do projects or write reports.  Of course, it is so much easier now with the internet - but I look fondly on finding books on topic in the library. As a reader now, I enjoy nonfiction.  I especially enjoy reading about how people persevered during difficult events. When I read nonfiction, for a class or that I know I'm going to discuss, I tend to pay closer attention then when I read nonfiction.  I'm afraid I might miss important information.
