So, I read Twelve Blue. I must confess that it wasn't the funnest or easiest read. I tried to use a straight forward strategy when reading it. I ignored the threads on the top of the page and only clicked on the numbers, in hierarchical order. The firs time reading, I ignored all the hyperlinks. I just read straight through. The second time I went through it, I clicked on all the hyperlinks.
I used this strategy because I felt that if I kept clicking on all the hyperlinks, I'd lose sight of where I started and get confused -- I'd probably read the same thing over and over! I was hoping to find some rhyme and reason to the text by using this strategy, but I still ended up lost and confused. Somehow, I couldn't make the connection to what I was reading.
I even went back and tried to click on the threads to see if they'd give me any new information. Turns out, they didn't. I was hoping this strategy of mine would help me tackle the text and understand it better, but I still ended up feeling out of place and not quite grasping the true meaning of the text the author had intended.
