What Kind of Reader Are You?

My results on the "What Kind of Reader Are You" test were Fiction and Speculative Fiction. I believe the results to be accurate. I  mostly read Fiction because I enjoy losing myself in a world of realistic fantasy. In other words, when reading a romantic novel, I completely submerge myself in the characters' world, and even put myself in their place. I can talk to myself, get angry, or even cry when reading.

Yet, the last piece I enjoyed was a summer assignment completed for this upcoming year. I read the first chapter of  the book "Principles of Economics" by N. Gregory Mankiw which presents the Ten Principles of  Economics. The first principle discusses how people face trade-offs as well as relating Economics to a household itself. It also explains how Efficiency and Equality affect us as a whole, and how they apply to a societal government.

When I hear the word Economics, I am usually turned off by its notion, but after reading this piece, I found out that this topic really interests me and introduces me to new thoughts concerning the different trade-offs in my own life.
