writing about reading

When books don't interest me within the first few chapters, I usually put them down and come back from time to time, hardly ever actually finishing them. With assigned reading, I generally multitask to get through the boring pages; blasting music or switching up the place I read (perhaps going outside or a closet). This works to an extent.
I read what looks interesting, what captures my attention, I go to the library and scan the shelves for an appealing title or cover, or jacket flap. Sometimes I'll read from a recommendation. I really couldn't say what my reading style is; I just read whatever I feel like reading. Fiction especially. Fiction is great because there's so much variety, countless ways of telling a story, and so many differsnt plots.
