Query: inspirational when one's in a book slump

i fell in an anti-reading mood for a while in 8th grade, but a lot of people encouraged me to read because it really helps in writing. i went to the library 3 days ago and copied down some titles that incoming freshmen were required to read before fall. "a tree in brooklyn" was the first one on the list that still had plenty of copies on the shelves (i think the thickness discouraged some people). i opened it up that night and started reading; it's really interesting! some mysteries of life (some basic things like laughing in a new environment) are explained and in such a way so it isn't boring at all.
