My Favourite Book
My favourite book.

For years, teachers and parents have been worried about comics, the cinema, television, and now the Internet. They all stop children reading, they say. However, it now seems that children are reading more than ever. Reading habits have changed, because there is now lots of competition from other media, but I think that reading is still popular. The reading is very important for me because book is cognitive. When I read a book I recognize something interesting, I get to know new hero and heroine. I like to read classical literature. It is my dream to become a student of the department of foreign languages and to be able to read the books by my favourite English and American writers in origin. What is my favourite book? This question is very interesting for me. Nowadays there are many different genres of literatures. And it is very difficult to chouse one of them. I read many different books. So in every book I always find thing, which I like very much. I like to read William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Robert Burns, Oscar Wilde, Jerome K. Jerome, Charlotte Bronte, Mark Twain, Jack London, Conan Doyle, James Aldridge, Jules Verne, Lewis Carroll, etc. I want to tell you about the book, which I like very much. This book is “Gone with the Wind”. The author of the book “Gone with the Wind” is Margaret Mitchell. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. All the family were interested in American history and she grew up in an atmosphere of stories about the Civil War and of stories of staggering events of recent epoch, because her father was a chairman of local historical society. War is one of the biggest misfortunes in the life of people. Now let’s revise some historic facts. Civil War began as the result of economy fight between northern and southern states. Northern states had preponderance – about 20 million of people against of 10 million of people and powerful industrial potential. But southern states had more talented

    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.…

    Reading allows for one to drift away from reality and opens a new door of an alternate fictional world. Once the reader has developed an emotional connection to the book and finds it intriguing, it is impractical to close the book. Reading allows a person to think creatively and take a break from life's stresses and worries. Whether one is reading for pleasure or for academic reasons, if enjoyable, the difference should be indistinguishable. Gratifying books teach lessons and try to get the reader to think deeply about a topic. Readers look for specific qualities in books such reader's interest, an opportunity for vocabulary, and the appropriate reading level for their age. Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare Night by Elie Wiesel and Red Queen…

    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. If a book has a kingdom, king, historical pieces, new languages, weird people, villains, and a hero, that it will be a book I’ll…

    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…

    When I first started reading I completely hated every aspect of it. It was boring, I couldn’t spend my time outside, and I thought that it was a complete waste of time. But then in 3rd or 4th grade I read my first Harry Potter and was completely blown away by how great it was. J. K. Rowling opened a completely new world to me. Suddenly reading became very interesting and I started reading more and more, at the same time I also started to get more and more interested in reading too. By 5th grade I reached a point where I read a new book every week. And even further if a book really interested me I was able to speed up this reading process even more. For example Harry Potter and the Order of Phoenix interested me so much that I just read day and night for 3 days and after that I was finished with 766 pages of it. Another author that really inspired and influenced me before is Eoin Colfer with his Artemis Fowl series. This series just full on captured my attention completely after the first page. I just loved Eoin Colfer’s style of writing, and this book was just one of these books that after I picked it up and read the first page, I couldn’t stop reading anymore. To mention another book that had the same effect on me and that I recently read, this book was Code Orange by Caroline B. Cooney. The book is about a boy a boy that finds an envelope containing scabs from Variola Major or smallpox in an old book. He then thinks that he infected himself and that he is also showing some of the system. After that he tries to kill himself in order to stop the outbreak and Epidemy of the highly contagious disease that could destroy the world, as we know it. Before he succeeds doing this, he gets kidnapped by international terrorists, who want to use him as a weapon to erase humanity. This book really made me think and also showed me how easily it would be possible that a highly contagious disease could spread easily around the world. Mainly because of…

But I haven't really been having much time to read because I have a job while going to school also and keeping my grades up. Sometimes it can be tough, but luckily I have this whole week off until Friday.…

    I love to read because of my mother. When I was young I disliked reading and preferred to watch movies instead. To get me to enjoy reading my mother would read stories to me and I would read along with her. One day my mother read only classic books from our houses to San Antonio, Texas. We read Little women, Great Expectations, Treasure Island, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Ten Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, plus more. I remember how her voice made the words on the pages come to life. She would very her tone for each character and made each one unique. It was like watching a one man play. I soon wanted to read the stories by myself because I was always in a rush to know the ending; reading to myself was faster than my mother reading aloud to me. Every time I read I can still…

    I love reading. I feel like it is a get-away for me and I can transport myself away from any problems that I may face in real life. I hate writing, I am not good at it and I can never find the right words to say. I wish I didn’t have to write, but it is an important skill that I will need in the future. Being almost a high schooler, I should learn that I need to learn to accept it a little bit more. I love reading all genres. I like the genres of realistic and historical fiction. My go-to genre is science fiction. I would prefer to read historical fiction from the time period of the Holocaust and world wars. I would like to read thirty more books by the end of the school year. In writing I would like to write longer papers and improve my style of…
