I have been collecting and actively reading books for the past seven years. Even though I love to read now it wasn't always that way. As a child my mother used to force me to go to a read-a-thon that lasted the entire summer at the library...EVERY SUMMER...and hated it. It wasn't until I was a freshman in high school that I started to like reading but rarely read. When I went to Italy in 2009 is when I started to actively read and collect books. Now a days I feel like I am read so much to try to make up for the lost time.
![The Diving Bell and the Butterfly: A Memoir of Life in Death by Jean-Dominique Bauby 1st (first) Edition [Hardcover(1997/5/13)] - Jean-Dominique Bauby](http://booklikes.com/photo/max/200/300/upload/books/71/66/520c76356e0417985ae654b3c77f6aac.jpg)
It wasn't what I expected but it was pretty enjoyable. It reads more like a short memoir than an adventure story. The story is amazing he wrote the whole thing by blinking his eyes while the rest of him was paralyzed. It's only 130 pages but it's a lot to digest. It gives amazing insight to someone suffering from locked in syndrome.
