Subway Reading Frederick Douglass

I'm trying to read and write more this year. Personally, I enjoy reading on the train. I get in the zone and my 45-minute commute flies by. It's the perfect amount of time to get away from all the drama of life and work. I look forward to getting on the train in the morning with my book in hand I can tolerate a crowded train.

The first book I read in 2010 was Frederick Douglass' Autobiography. That was a book that I have been trying to read for years. I must say that I learned a lot from that book. Frederick Douglass was so well written. The particular book I read had various footnotes and added information about the time period and the style of writing. This style of writing is usually difficult for me but it usually is when I read a book from other time periods.

This book gave me a better appreciation of everything!! Life, friendships and family!
