/lit/ - Literature

As a kid I loved grammar and spelling and would read a ton of encyclopedia brown, magic tree house, and eventually any book I could find. I read a lot and read fast so I was eventually reading from my parents' high school and college texts and literature, as well as receiving recommendations from my grandmother who has dedicated her life to English education. I grew up Mormon so I read their scriptures a ton, like 2 hours daily for 3 years, and did a lot of note taking, so I think those habits helped with my recreational reading. Now that I've left the church I have a lot more time to devote to literature, and don't have any moral qualms against more racy literature, and I've developed great reading habits, so I've found reading to be pretty enjoyable, and more therapeutic the sadder I get.
