I have been reading since
I was about five years old. The first real book I ever read was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,
which pretty much jumpstarted my love of reading. Since then, I have been
devouring books. I have a booklist that is three pages, front and back.
Literature classes were always some of my favorites throughout school, and I
loved learning about authors’ different styles of writing. Many times
throughout school, I couldn’t put books down, and my teachers learned to ignore
me. I’m still not sure how I got away with not paying attention in class. The Harry Potter series is far and away my
favorite, followed closely by Russian literature and British classics, such as Anna Karenina and Wuthering Heights. Every year or so, I go through a phase of types
of books I read constantly. A couple years ago it was Russian literature,
mostly Tolstoy. Right now, it’s Stephen King. I read It this summer, and it gave me the bug to attempt to read every
Stephen King novel. I’m not sure where I’ll go once I accomplish that goal, but
thankfully I have my list to fall back on. With the new technology age,
however, many of my favorite bookstores have closed. I hate reading eBooks;
they give me headaches. I think I get this old fashioned idea about actually
physically holding books from my mom, who always encouraged me to go to the
library and read physical books instead of reading online. I’m not complaining,
though; there’s nothing I like more than curling up with a cup of coffee and a
good book.
I, like you, have also read at an early age . I started with Judy Bloom and made my way through R.L. Stein and V.C. Andrews. i also enjoy the physicality of a bound book in my hand. It's like i can hold the writer accomplishment in my hand and feel how much work they out in to make it. I feel you on the curling up with a book, any spare time I can get I'm reading a book.
