My junior year in AP English we were assigned to read The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, over the summer. I was not very keen on reading this book so I procrastinated reading it till about two weeks before school started. I tried or rather "tired" to read this book the best I could, but I did not finish reading the very long and boring book. When I got to class I found out that was a very poor choice because we had a quiz the very first day.
Reading or my lack of reading The Fountainhead was my worst reading experience and from that came my worst writing experience. I could not write intelligently about this book to save my life! I had no idea what I was writing about. I ended up writing about just the general themes of the book when assigned writing projects related to The Fountainhead. From this whole experience I learned that even if you don't want to read a book, at least try because writing is very difficult to do and incredibly nerve wrecking when you have know idea what you are talking about.
