My Reading History

I am a reader; I read mostly Chinese books. Reading is a part of my life. I read in every short blocks of time. If I am free in the weekends, I can finish a book one night. Mostly reading novels, I read every kind of works. The most boring book I’ve read was a book teaching people how to exploit oil－it was really really really tedious, but I still finished it. I borrowed Tagore’s poetry from the library and found it hard to understand. Autobiography is meaningful, but I won’t glance at an unfamiliar celebrity’s book. Therefore, I read novels, which are always interesting in order to appeal to readers.

Throughout my long reading history, I like The Twins by Div. It is a story about life, will, hope, and living. The Twins isn’t the best story I have ever read, nor does it have excellent writing skills. It just has simple words and maybe an old plot; however, I was moved whenever I read over this book in my junior high school. The author wasn’t mature enough when writing this story, but he did convey something through his sentences and touch readers.

I think I am loyal to reading. As to what makes me a reader, to be honest, I don’t remember. I read hardcover books which are easy Chinese traditional stories when in kindergarten. I read Harry Potter (of course Chinese version) in the second year in my elementary school; I still remember that Harry Potter series 7 was launched at my age of eleven. Nonetheless, I forgot how and why did I get started－maybe the first time I got a book? Air is to men what reading is to me; I enjoy reading.
