Books: Question #1
Since I was about 6 years old , my grandmother has always persuaded me to read. She constantly repeated that the person that read a lot would always grow up to be a talented and very intelligent person. Obviously, since I was a little girl, I was very naïve so, I went on with believing her, even though I had no idea of what she was saying. But I do know that these words were definitely recorded in my mind and they would always play in my head over and over again. So, ever since I can remember, I have tried to read as many books as I can. My reason for that is because as the years went by, I realized my grandmother was right. Today, I believe reading makes people gain knowledge, not only on whatever they’re reading but also on lexicon. It helps people improve their reading skills and also, develop an extended sense of creativity by other‘s writings. In addition to that, pulls people away from being lazy in front of a TV watching non-learning shows.
When talking about reading habits, I must say I am definitely proud of my dedication to reading. Throughout the years I have read an uncountable number of books. Starting from fictional novels, to non-fictional, literary and just teenage novels. I am constantly involved in reading whether it involves a book, a magazine or a newspaper. Usually, I tend to get into the plot of whatever I’m reading, and then, I just can’t stop reading until I’m done with the whole book. Then, I’d have to find something else to read so I would entertain myself. I must add that sometimes I get carried away with what I am doing and I see myself forced to put away a book until I’m done with my school assignments.
Going back, and thinking about all of the books I have read, it becomes hard for me to pick a specific author as my favorite. However, out of the most recent books I have read, I would pick Paulo Coelho and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Both, Spanish authors, because since Spanish is my native language, I find it easier for me to read in that language. Paulo Coelho, as well as Gabriel Garcia Marquez, usually write about fictional novels; their novels are translated into many languages around the world, but for me Spanish is my favorite. Even though, they are both novel writers, they take their novels to the extreme where the reader absolutely believes that it is actually happen. I like this genre of books, because you’re constantly imagining what could happen after, and most of the novels are written.
Finally, I believe reading is an activity that everyone should be involved in. It should be important in everyone’s life since it teaches us morals, and even a pattern of a conduct. By this, I mean, it creates a schedule on a person, in which they get used to reading. However, many people don’t know the importance of reading or how much a reading a book can make an improvement in their lives. That is why, if you even read one book a month, at least you’re doing something to better yourself in one way or another.
