I can't read when it's required of me. I have 4 books I have to read by Wed. I don't like being told what to do. It's a problem. I know. it's an insecurity. I'm the youngest. 2 siblings. one was bossy and one was smart. i was passive. In high school this passivity became aggressive...
But this is about reading.
I wonder what would happen if a professor required, simply, reading. Nothing specific, just reading, with maybe a few suggestions. I bet I'd pick the suggested reading. I bet I'd really enjoy the books, too. No your right, I wouldn't pick what was suggested. But the books I'm supposed to be reading right now seem really interesting. I've even had those, "I could devote my life studies on this subject!" thoughts.
something about being told what to do makes me want to watch movies and write blogs instead.
