Lernin 2 reed ma ABDees

I have very little recollection of learning to read-I think it was probably a smooth and organic process. My parents read to me from the time I was in a crib and from an early age I had an interest in various forms of literature (comic books, novels, plays, etc.). English was always my strongest subject in school (don't ask about math). I independently became interested in reading the works of certain authors-I read every John Grisham book published by the time I turned 14. I moved on to a variety of different authors (like Vonnegut, Wolfe, Tolkien, Thompson, Asimov, Shakespeare, Pohl, King etc.), voraciously consuming everything I could get my hands on. If I find that a particular author interests me, I'll try to read their entire body of work.

Me, Myself and I

My name is Aaron Myerson and I live in River Edge NJ. I'm a senior at MSU and I hope to teach high school English in the near future. I enjoy hiking, writing bizzare/innovative fiction and poetry, watching films, and producing/viewing artwork. I work as an artist in a Trader Joe's store in Westwood. I play guitar in two bands. Being that I attempt to defy genre conventions, I hate labels. However, for the sake of this blurb I will reluctantly say that I guess you could classify my music as being progressive rock-ish. I also play bass and drums.
