Blog Reflection
My style reading depends on what I am reading for. If I am reading a book for pleasure then I just read it, but if I am reading it for school I make sure to annotate what I am reading so that I will be able to come back to parts of it again. This makes me a fairly good reader because I make sure I understand the information and if I have to use the information later I make sure that I am able to analyze what I read. When I read, I have a capacity for sustained focused attention, tolerance for failure, and a tolerance for ambiguity because I am able to pay close attention to details for an extended period of time, if I don't understand something I am not bothered by the fact that I will have to reread it, and if the author purposefully leaves me questioning I am able to wait to find out, or predict what I believe will happen. By reading this article, I have learned to become more willing to suspend closure in my reading. I will try to be willing to be temporarily lost and form my own thoughts to fill in the blanks that the author left empty. Lastly, I do not enjoy annotating my books. I feel that it takes away from me enjoying the book; however, annotating does help when I want to go back and find a certain part in my book.
