No Time to Read!

By: Taylor Coutroulis 

Loads of homework can stop students from doing many things they enjoy, such as reading. As Berkeley students, most of us are overwhelmed with homework and have trouble finding time to pick up a book and read purely for fun. Even when we do have down time, many of us turn to television rather than books. In fact, on average, students only read one to two non-school books per year. However, this does not mean some would not read if they only had more time! According to junior, Emily Croslin, "I wish I could read but I don't have much time left between homework and seeing my friends." Take our poll and tell us how many outside of school books you read per school year!
