For this project I read Shades of Gray, Bill Cosby: Time Flies, and Rivers Edge: The Weezer Story.

I read 21 and a half hours. 2 books just starting my third, and like 700 pages or so.

I think I gained a lot from this reading experience. I think I like to read action books like Shades of Gray and biographies if they are on something interesting. I think I will continue to keep reading if I can make room for it around tv and PBS. I definitely think that I will read more now after this project than I had previously though. All thanks to Strusz!

First off i want to say i really enjoy reading biographies. I just like reading about peoples lives, if they are interesting. I am currently reading Rivers Edge: The Weezer Story. So far it has mostly been about Weezer's lead singer-Rivers Cuomo's bizarre childhood. Rivers started out in a metal band after discovering his love for metal through the band Kiss. The band was young and pretty much barely made it on the money they made not knowing what apartment they would be staying in the next night most of the time. I just got to the part where the genre was changing and Rivers started to like the alternative beat and meets the future drummer of Weezer, Pat Wilson.

So, I believe a good theme for my book would be dedication, and following your dream and not giving up. Rivers Cuomo grew up on an ashram excluded from the real world. When he first heard a Kiss record he was infatuated. In highschool he decided he wanted to be a Rock Star and he followed that dream.

Total time read: 15hrs and 20min.
