I have always enjoyed reading. Some of my favorite books are Catcher in the Rye, East of Eden, Count of Monte Cristo, and the Road. So as you can see the kind of stories we read for class were kind of different from the kind of stories I normally read. But just because they were different, it doesn't mean I did not enjoy them because I did actually enjoy them.
If I had to say what my favorite story was it would probably be the story of Cupid and Psyche.

I think the coolest thing about reading the different units is being able to see how each culture interprets different creation and origin stories. I'm not the biggest reader, like you, but I've managed to find something that I like to learn about in each chapter. I think the important thing is try and not be distracted when reading and focus on what makes the story important to the environment it was first written in.
