Reading is a kind of activity you can do all your life. i like reading very much. wherever i see letters, in newspaper, magazines, or a novel, and whatever i do, taking a dinner, taking a bus or subway, or even in the restroom, i will read them. i read for nothing but just like doing it. when i was a student, i always thought when i worked, i would buy a book at least each month. Unfortunately, i have not done that every month, although i have bought a lot of books during these two years. Last week, i happened to see a bookstore. so i got in and chose three novels for me. One is Scarlet Letter, the other is Jane Eyer, and the rest is Waldent( I forget how to spell it now, an American author who wrote it). But i have not read them by now. maybe because English is not my native language, so i read them very slowly, thus i have not enough interest to read through the novel in one night. if i got a Chinese novel, most of the time, i would read through it in one night. However, i will try my best to finish reading English novels, although i just finished reading one novel written in Enlgish, Pride and Prejudice, which I talked about yesterday. I like reading. I hope you like it. Reading can rich your knowledge, can open your eyes, can broad your mind, and also can help you live a happier life. Whatever you read, just read it. Certainly, you should read something useful, i mean, you'd better choose the one you like and is better for you, and do not read something forbidden. I will try my best to read as much as i can. i will insist on reading all my life.

You're right. Reading can also add us knowledge and as well as wisdom. I've been reading since and it has helped me in a lot of ways: thinking, saying, doing, etc.. Reading also helped in my writing skills. I am writing a book right now and I owe it to reading. it opened my mind and I said oh, why won't i write something to express myself like the authors of the book I read. That way I will also open others mind.. "I will try my best to read as much as i can.will insist on reading all my life." =)

You are so excellent. You are writing your own book! I never think to write a book by myself. I hope I can read your book as soon as possible to share your experience. I am expecting.

I agree with you. It is something I have always done, but I can only read in my own language (English). It must be more difficult when you read in another language. Reading will help you to know words and meanings and you will gain knowledge. I have read Jane Eyre and Pride and Prejudice several times and each time I read them I find more to admire in them.

It is easier to read a book written by native language than by a foreign language. That's why I often read very slowly and fail in the half way to read an English book. I admire Jane very much. She is poor,but she has her own personality. She never says no her fortune. She controls her own life. Acutally, my English name is Jane. Reading an English book really help to learn English very well.

You have got so good a habit, to read everyday. I will learn from you. Try my best to read everyday. Now, I often watch TV. I think, it is not a good habit.

That is good to hear. I agree with you. I also try my best to read a lot because reading can helps me widen my vocabulary. Through reading, I also widen my knowledge and the same time have fun. It enables me to imagine which makes me more creative. Some of my favorite reading materials are short novels and magazines. My favorite book is the Da Vinci Code. I like mysteries a lot. I was fond of Nancy Drew books when I was little. I would go to the library and borrow one book at a time. That was indeed one of my simple pleasures in life.

Yes you are so right!! Reading is so so very fundamental that i enjoy it so very much!! Out of each book that i am reading i learn and experience something that i never knew. A lot of times the characters in the books seem so so very real. Like they have been apart of your life for the longest. I dont know about anyone else but i seem to get attached when i am reading. I can actually picture what is going on. I love to read and i feel that i have the best job in the world as being a library assistant. I am always readin something. If its for school or if its for fun. Readin is a hobby for me and i enjoy it to the fullest. A book can open up so many things for you. It can take you to places that you never imagined just by how the author puts the words down on paper. It can drwa u in and change how you feel about a lot of things.
