Personally, I found that I really enjoyed reading someone's essay. Normally, when I read my essays (especially for school), I get really bored and I don't really feel like editing them. But, when I read others' essays, there's still that element of surprise when I'm reading. So, in the articles from last night, I think it mentioned that when you read your own, you can add character into the words, but when you read someone else's it just means that you are trying to understand/comprehend what you're reading. But, I actually found it to be opposite. When I read mine, I find that I already know what it says so I barely attempt to add any extra rhythm to the words, whereas when I read someone else's, the easiest way for me to comprehend what's being said is if I add some life into the words.
