Behind The Papers

A good book always has a great writer behind it. There are so many good books with so many genres such as romance, fantasy, horror, sci-fi, paranormal, etc. My favorite writer is Rick Riordan. He is the writer of Percy Jackson series and other series. His books are based on fantasy. He writes books about Greek myth. He can make fiction characters of the Greek Gods and Goddesses seems real. I always interested in Greek myth and reading his books intrigued me. That is one of the reasons why he is my favorite writer. I have some of his books in my collection and i reread some of them sometimes. The thing about his books is that you won’t get bored by rereading it even though you’ve already known the stories because he always understandable words. Although sometimes he uses strange words, he will always give explanations in the back of his books so we won’t be confused. Reading his books is like the idiom “kill two birds with one stone”, it is like I’m learning while entertaining myself.

Perfect Place

Reading is an activity that becomes a must-do-list for me. Mostly because reading a book is like my escape from reality. That’s why finding a place to read is really important. When you’re reading, place and surrounding are the biggest influence because it can shape your mood. Places like library, book store, coffee shop, or my room, are the perfect choice when it comes to reading. Places like that are quiet and peaceful. Giving the opportunity for imagination to flow perfectly with the stories, and helping to stay focused. A perfect place and surrounding can take you away from reality, make you feel like you’re inside the book, part of the story. That’s how important a place for reading is.

Books Are Treasures

Finding a good book is like finding a treasure. For me, a good book is something that can keep me up all night, fearing that if i put it down, the stories will go on without me. A good book is a treasure because it is like a doorway to a new world. It is something that keep my imagination alive, something that can take me to places without actually going there, and teach me things I’ve never known. Just like a treasure, once you found it, you’ll feel rich and keep looking for another treasure because you can never feel satisfied. Once you found a good book, you’ll keep looking for another one because you can’t live with only one good book.

Based on Passion

When I was in high school, I’ve always wondered what major I am going to take for college. I had some preferences back then, like international relation, English literature, and even French literature. I had these thoughts when I was going to take international relation; am I really going to take this? Could I survive there? Something like that. Then I thought, if I were going to college, I wanted to learn something based on my passion so that I wouldn’t feel pressured by doing what I like. I always have passion in reading, and I like languages. I was confused whether to take English literature or French literature. I like the idea of learning French but at that time, I was also worried because I wasn’t good at French. So I decided to take English literature as my major and until now, I’m not disappointed.

My Kind of Holiday

When holidays come, I always have at least two books to read in my list. Most of the time, I read more than three books. Since I like to read books, although mostly are fictions, my mother gives me money once in a while to buy a new book. I’ve always wanted to have a rack of books because I could always reread some books whenever I want. Although some people find reading is boring, I find reading is intriguing. Reading makes me rethink about everything. It helps me see most of things in the different light, different perspective. I feel comfortable reading a book. Sometimes it makes me look like a bookworm but I don’t really see the matters of being a bookworm. There’s someone saying that we learn something new every day, and I agree with that. We can learn new things not only from school, but also books, our surroundings, or even someone’s experience. It is kind of exciting.

First Encounter

The first time I read a book besides school book was when I was in junior high school. I remember that I was not much of a reader at first. I prefered comics because comics were colorful and the cartoons or illustrations inside them were really interesting. Then my friend, Shafira, told me that she had read a good book that might interest me at that time. I don’t remember what it was but I remember that it was thicker than any school book that I had back then. I told her that I didn’t really read books and I wasn’t ready to read a thick book for a starter. Some times later, I was interested in a book, teenlit if I’m not mistaken, and it wasn’t thick at all. So, I started reading it and I quiet like it. After that, I tried to read books which a little bit thicker than the previous book. When I entered high school, there were so many different and interesting books in the library. That was when I had become a reader. I could finish at least two books in a week.  Now, I can even finish a book in one night if I want to because reading has become my habit when I have to pass time.

Reading Is Beneficial, You Know?

Reading is probably one of the most beneficial activities that a person can do. It is through reading that a person is going to be able to discover new ideas, concepts, places, and people. Some people even describe reading as a journey that starts as the opening of a page, and finishes as the last page is turned. There are several reasons why reading is important. First, reading is so beneficial in our lives is that a book furnishes relaxation to our mind and soul. There is something about stopping to focus on words during reading that is instantly relaxing.  Second, it is a way for children to reach out to the world. It is no secret that reading increases children’s vocabulary and spelling more than talking or direct teaching. Reading forces us to look at words that we might not have seen or heard in our lives. And third, it improves our thinking process. Reading books require readers to think and imagine about different details in the book such as characters and plot; this provides us to improve our thinking process. Everyone knows that a person who reads will be successful and a person who doesn’t will either not do so well than others or eventually fail in life. In short, reading books not only refresh our mind and soul but also help us to change our perspective of life.

Ways to Enjoy Reading

There are several ways to enjoy reading books. Some people can’t enjoy reading books because sometimes they can already figure out the plot of the story in the book they are reading. Why? Because the story is easy to guessed. But actually, reading books can be really enjoyable and it can be one of the best ways to pass time. First, you need to find a book that has your interest. For example, you’re interested in music, then you need to find a book about music. Second, make a cup of coffee or tea to accompany you reading a book. You never know when you will get thirsty while reading a book so it is better for you to prepare it beforehand. The last but not least, is for you to find a place that can bring you peace and won’t disturb your reading activity such as coffee shop, library, bedroom, or even under a tree. Find a place that makes you comfortable to read. In short, reading can be enjoyed by several ways.

Books and Comics

Many people are still not interested in reading books. Some of them think that reading a book is boring because it has a lot of words and rarely has a picture or illustration. They also think that reading a book needs a lot of time since books are usually thick. While some people aren’t really interested in reading books, they usually more interested in comics rather than books because comics not only have a lot of words but also pictures or animations that mostly are colorful. Comics also not as thicker as books. Usually comics are published as series so it is possible for several comics having the same title. What makes the difference is usually the mark of number in the cover. In conclusion, some people prefer reading comics rather than books.
