Refuge and My responses

Our Engl 106 class is reading the book "Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family And Place". The reason for reading this specific book is because the author is eventually going to visit our campus. And my opinion so far of the book is not so good. Being a typical college student I do not find myself an avid bird watcher, and since that is what half of the book is about I do not find it that interesting. The other half about the sickness in her family is alittle more interesting. It is about cancer and how many members in her family have it. I find it more interesting because a few members of my family have also had cancer in the recent years.
The book is also about the bird refuge she frequently goes to and the different things happening to it. I find it somewhat interesting, the flooding atleast, but most of the other things I do not find all too interesting to me. I must say that I do not really like the book that much and in that sense it is more of a "must read" then a "pleasure read". With this being said I find myself forcing myself to read it and then I do not enjoy it. And I know that if I do not enjoy a read I will not get as much out of the book as if I would like reading it. So that is what I get out of the book so far. By the end, that may be a different story.
