My first blog

Literature has never been a favorite of mine. I mean do not get me wrong i can read articles in the sports section or on ESPN.com all day, but sitting down and trying to read a book has never been a passion of mine until last year. I guess it all started back when my teacher in 4th grade read aloud the first Harry Potter book to us. I know it actually wasn't me reading it, still i could tell books were not for me. I never thought that i just had to find something that really interested me and give it a shot. So i would start books and be 20-30 pages in and get bored and never pick that book up again. Until I started reading the most significant book i have ever read to this day. Before we get to that i want to tell you about my most recent memory of literature it takes place a couple months ago when i read a book called The Shack. It is a great book about a man's heart break and then struggle with his faith. All though this was an amazing book, the most significant piece of literature to me has to be Tony Dungy's Quiet Strength. This was the first book that could grab my attention from cover to cover. I could not seem to put it down, I always thought reading wasn't for me till i picked up this book. So most of my life i thought literature did not matter, but than i came to realize that I just have not found a book for me.
