What Does Reading Mean To Me
What does reading mean to me?
I am a very avid reader. Much of my time after school and on weekends is spent reading. I mostly read science fiction and fantasy novels. I enjoy science fiction novels because I like reading about all the interesting futuristic technology and lifestyle. Some science fiction novels I have read and enjoyed are The Quantum Door by Jonathan Ballagh, Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer, and The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer. I enjoy fantasy novels because I like the adventure in them. I especially like fantasy novels that include some from of magic in them. Some Fantasy novels that I have read and enjoyed are Fablehaven by Brandon Mull, Eragon by Christopher Paolini, and Magyk, by Angie Sage. I also read a little bit of

    “Books are uniquely portable magic,” Stephen King wrote in On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft. I quite agree with this view. In retrospect, the genres of books which I read gradually varied as of aged. Additionally, those books which I have read, broadened my horizon and improved my comprehension ability to some degree.…

    Reading is my life. It’s my escape from the world around me. I love getting lost in a story about monsters and myths, or a Cinderella gone wrong. If I didn’t draw as much as I did, I’d probably be the anti-social bookworm in the back, like in all those cliche teenage love stories. It’s actually quite surprising to see how many people dislike books, there’s nothing wrong with a little reading every once and awhile. But who am I to judge? I wasn’t a very big reader myself until maybe two years ago. Of course, that leads to the first reason why I enjoy reading so much.…

    The book series that really got me into reading was the Harry Potter series. I hadn’t been much of a reader beforehand, but suddenly I was immersed in a faraway world filled with magic and adventure. New possibilities opened up for me, books could take me anywhere I wanted; I could escape my boring everyday life and travel through space and time into a million different lives and experiences far more rich in adventure and love and drama and magic than anything I could hope for in the real world. The Harry Potter series showed me how much a book could offer, and ever since then I have loved reading.…

    Out of the ten arguments that were in Dr. Towns article I have chosen the argument about The Convicting, Convincing, and Converting Power of the Message. When we begin to look at how people come to Christ, they come to Jesus for a lot of different reasons. One of the quotes from the literature reason about the bible that I would like to include is 'The Bible has a transforming power to change the lives of individuals. We can take the Apostle Paul and look at how he was change on the road to Damascus. Paul conversion happen when he thought he was doing things in the name Christ but he was yet to be converted until he encounter Jesus on that road. It’s an interesting how Gods meets us where we are in our sin. Another quote that intrigues me was ' The Bible is unique in its call to repentance, in its convicting power to unsettle those who sin, and its power to convert and transform those who accept its message. Everyone encounter is different. When we were initially convicted yea it was emotional because we were kind of tired of the position that we were in. It was like a light bulb came on letting us know that we need God. So the transformation begins and we begin to look at ourselves as the man in the mirror that needs to change his ways, in the words of Michael Jackson. So the words that we read touch a place in our hearts to lets ourselves open up to get to know this man name…

    My Math teacher made a difference on my reading life. He always had good books to lend me. My appreciation for reading increased with many books he suggested. I’m very glad he was in my life to help to develop my reading skills. Although, I had to learn a new language when I moved to United Sates. I still enjoy reading. My favorite books are the fiction books. I still enjoyed the feeling of traveling to different worlds and be part of adventures.

    At times, it seemed as if my mind was immersed in the book. Reading became a daily habit, and if I did not read anything that day, I would not feel completed. When I was young Maurice Sendak was my favorite author. His books were filled with imagination and ionic characters. The imagination he portrayed in his stories was entertaining. Moreover, I enjoyed reading his story “Where the Wild Things Are” because it was an appealing story when I was younger due to the ability to imagine the characters actions, and the wild adventures made the story a fun reading experience. However, as I have gotten older, I now enjoy mystery books and poetry. “Life of Pi” by Yann Martel is currently my favorite book, and I also love reading more of his…

    I used to love reading when there wasn't a lot of pressure or strict deadlines involved. I also liked being able to choose what I read, whenever I wanted to read it. Early on in elementary school I was free to choose whatever I pleased, and that caused me to become interested in some series of books. Soon enough the relaxing fun turned into stressful reading with deadlines, which turned my attitude about reading upside down. I tend to have a negative attitude towards old literature that is difficult to read because it feels like it turns reading into a mind taxing challenge. I prefer to be able to comprehend something the first time I read it, and for the text to be in the normal language that is used in our modern times. That being said, I have a positive attitude about reading things that I am interested in knowing more about. For example, I thoroughly enjoy reading articles about college, engineering, or technology. Anytime I receive some kind of college pamphlet in the mail or come across an interesting article about some upcoming device, I will almost immediately stop everything to read about it. I also appreciate action-packed novels set in post-apocalyptic scenarios where characters must overcome some form of supreme control such as The Hunger Games and The Maze Runner. In my opinion, anything that I enjoy learning about or that is exciting to me is worth…

    I remember that I have always been drawn to classical novels. Some of the novels I had read are still my constant companions that help to understand the difficult questions and solve the most important problems. Historical novels help to look at the present from a broader perspective and understand it in better way. In my family, I have constantly been confronted with the scientific literature. Science fiction opens a window into a new unknown and tempting world. Such books liberalize and elevate my mind, as well as develop my thinking skills and enrich…
