Collective thoughts
After reading my comments and post, I do see a change in my reading skills. I find my self trying to reach into the book more to find more answers than just what is on the page. When reading 451 I found my self willingly looking for more information on the web, as I finished Hanging Tree I found myself looking deeper into the authors thoughts as I read his words. There is a lot that you can take a way from a book that I think most people miss. I know a lot of people who find reading a chore so they just read because they have to so they are just reading whats on the page. Where as now I feel like when I read and respond to an open forum I find my self re-thinking about what really went on in that chapter and I am able to reconnect my self and mind with the book.

That all sounds great Ellie. Can you identify what brought that change for you? And, do you carry those new ideas with you when you read for other contexts or is it just because of the read and response format we're working with? Btw, what happened at the end of the Hanging Tree? I was looking forward to hearing about it, and somehow I either forgot or didn't notice a post about it. Can you fill me in?
