Journal #15 What I Read for Entertainmet

First, off I will just start by saying that I am not a real big reader. I pretty much only read for school projects or for English summer reading. On that note, I read a little bit for fun or entertainment. I am a really big sports fan so my dad has a subscription to both Sports Illustrated and ESPN The Magazine. I love to go over there and have a new sports magazine to read. The articles usually go beyond what you see on the surface of a sports story, and I think that the stories, articles, and features are very well written and entertaining. I prefer ESPN more than Sports Illustrated because, the articles are a little bit more deeper in ESPN than SI. SI does a lot of stories about the current teams and league updates, while ESPN does a lot more about individual players and the problems they are faced with or are facing and also they a lot of stuff about players who battle thorough adversity to become a great player. I think this feature a lot more than reading about the NFL midseason report, that I pretty much already know the jest of. With the much more in depth player articles, I think it not only makes you feel like you are closer to a player but, it also makes you feel like you closer to a professional league or team because you know the players more closely. I also think one reason that I like ESPN more than I like SI is that SI is a weekly thing, and ESPN is every two weeks. It makes the anticipation to greater to receive my magizaine if I have to wait for every two weeks. I not only enjoy sports magazines but, I also really enjoy reading magazines that deal with new car news or something new that concerns science. My mom is really big on the news magazines but, I would much rather read about sports, cars, or science. Overall, I think magazines are the biggest thing that I read for fun.
