What kind of reader am I?

     After reading the analysis of different classifications for readers that Samuel Taylor Coleridge created, I had trouble picking which one best suited me. As I looked at them I thought that I didnt perfectly fit in any of them, the two that I though best described me as a reader was a sand-glass, and sponges. Yes they are opposties although I believe that some of the criteria from either described me. I don't generally read for fun or amusement and I am eager to get through a book, I also retain many of the things from my selection. For example, I am currently reading Scar Tissue an autobiography by Anthony Kiedis, I am greatly looking forward to finishing the book, but seeing as Anthony is one of my most respected celebrities and musical figures I retain and remember many of the stories and facts that I have learned while reading this book. If I find a book that has a real connection to me, and is excited from the beginning to the end, I will most likely read and enjoy it.
