Read a nonfiction book or historical fiction book.
Describe a part of the book that made you feel something strongly (i.e. something that made you cry, laugh, get really angry, etc.).
I have recently discovered the Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales series, and even though these books aren't exactly challenging, they are REALLY good. In this particular book, A part that made me laugh was when the British ironclad starts to run aground trying to shoot at the American ironclad, and one of the generals yells to his fellow soldiers, "Oh no! we've run aground! Our wooden bottom is showing! We can't fight with a bare bottom! This book is pretty hilarious, maybe even the funniest one in the series, though the others all have their moments. I very much suggest this book. It is VERY VERY VERY funny.
