Out of the types of readers described by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, I think that I would probably fall under the catagory of a sand-glass reader. For the most part, I don't take much away from what I read, and I read for fun and to pass the time. Another defining characteristic of my reading is that certain things can make me very emotional. Similar to how I am affected by sad movies and teenage drama tv shows, books can make me very emotional, evening pushing me far enough to cry. An example of a book that had this effect on me was "The Last Song" by Nicholas Sparks. While nearing the end of the book, I almost stopped reading. The last few chapters were so depressing that I wasn't even sure if I wanted to finish the book. Although "The Last Song" made me cry in various parts, I really enjoyed this book, and am considering reading it again sometime soon.
