I always spend my extra time reading. I like to read a lot because it helps me widen my horizon. It provides interpersonal and intrapersonal growth too. Eversince elementary, i started reading already. I started with Archies and storybooks and moved to Sweet Valleys and detective novels until I reached thick paperbacks. I really love Daniel Steel and Dan Brown. The first because her novels make me more mature and they are more descriptive. It gives me a full picture of what I'm reading. The latter because its full of suspense and makes you learn something new. I actually get thrilled while reading which makes me want to read more.
Have you read some interesting books that you would want to recommend?

Wow, you're a fan of Dan Brown too. :) With the same horizon, I recommend you to try reading Paul Christopher's "Michelangelo's Notebook". It is very interesting and works in the same plot as Da Vinci's code. Yes, it's quite a good read.
My current reading flick is the "Holy Blood. Holy Grail." I know it's already an old book but never mind. I want to learn dude, even if it means a plunge into history and a deep excavation into your dictionary.
There is a line of books that I recently purchased at the bookstore where I always buy paperbacks. If I find them great, then I'll recommend them to you my friend.

I am definitely gonna look for that book you recommended. Hey! Is the book you're reading have the same plot with Da Vinci's? It also talks about the Holy Grail and the blood line. I hope you can share the story with me sometime..

Yeah. Dan Brown based his book on the book "Holy Blood. Holy Grail." I really loved the book. It's some kind of in a documentary format and the words are really deep and archaic, but I really liked it. It's focuses with three things: The Knights Templar, The Holy Grail and The 'Treasure'.

Yeah. I know how boring it is without an internet connection. But I really find reading very entertaining though and it provides you with a broad horizon.

I am addicted to books and I love them. I've read books by Dan Brown and I think also by Daniel Steel. Right now I am really in love with the author Kyra Davis. She is a really good author and her books are captivating. I would recommend you to read "A Brave New World", by Aldous Huxley. This is a tremendously good book. I would recommend this book to anyone.
