You are what you read!

I heard that somewhere and don't know if it is true...and it is highly unlikey that a person's being is solidified by reading someone else's work. Nevertheless, I am trying to read three books, which is difficult after college. Being forced to read things you don't want to or have very little interest in conditions you to hate reading in general...but now that grad school looms over my head, I need to read more for pleasure. Not only will reading interesting material increase my tolerance for black and white print , but I can get different writing styles to incorporate into my own voice.
