description

Read a book that represents something about you. It can be anything. A character that you relate to. Maybe the character has your dream job or has the same sucky luck that you have. Anything at all. Tell us why the book represents you.

There is no timeline for this challenge. You can start it anytime. You can complete it as many times as you want with different books and different things that relate to you.
