Wants to gain more knowledge


Question Posted Wednesday January 22 2014, 11:36 am

I am a female, 22 years old. I dropped out of High School my senior year. Not because I wanted to but because I was brutally bullied. I do plan to get my GED & go to college. However I would like to be gaining knowledge on my own.
My New Years resolution was to watch t.v less & to rude more. I do have a brain injury which makes it a bit difficult to retain knowledge but the more I try hopefully the easier it will become.
So what I am seeking is suggestions of books to read, I'm open to all different topics, quiz books etc..

Please & thank you so much :)

There are two ways of reading. The first is reading for enjoyment. The second is reading for learning. Both types of reading expand you knowledge in different ways. Text books and some classic literature and Novels may not be to your literary liking.

IF you have not done a lot of reading in the past I would suggest you start by reading for fun. This will help you read better and faster. Then you can start easing into the books you should have read in High school, some of the classic literature. There are a number of different authors English teacher introduce us to in both High school and College. Some of the so called Classics bored me to tears. I'm not the Romeo and Juliet type of guy to begin with and Shakespeare who is among the greatest of the classic artists has a writing style I just had trouble reading.

I would suggest you go to the library and talk with a Liberian. Tell them what you like to read and what you believe your reading skill level is. Reading skill and comprehension are different. Then the Librarian can help you choose some books to read.
