What is the love for reading?
Since I was a child, I’ve always loved reading. I believe that reading is good for your mind and soul, because it enriches and stimulates the imagination, feelings and emotions. Also reading is knowledge, it is information. Through a book I get to know new places, new characters, in short, I relax reading and I feel free to express what I think. I like reading in my little free time and when I’m in bed because I prefer reading in silence.
The influence of the teacher
Many years ago, I started reading at school thanks to my Italian teacher who encouraged us to buy and read books as much as we could. Every week, he dedicated an entire lesson to reading. He said that reading is culture, and it’s true. Over time I learned that books teach a lot , reading also improves your writing and it helps you to be more critical . In fact today thanks to my Italian teacher, I’m sure that I will pass on to my future children my love for reading The first book I read was “Piccolo Principe” , written by Antoine Saint-Exuperry. It was given to me for my twelfth birthday from my best friend. Have you ever read this book? It’s a poetic story that talks about issues such has love, friendshipand the meaning of life. When I read it for the first time, I didn’t like it very much, but after I read it again and I understood its true meanings, I mean to keep relationships with the people that I love.My favorite kind of books are thrillers, and also historical books because they are very interesting. I’d rather read a thriller than other literary kinds, such as romantic books, or fantasy books because I like suspense, the twists, the mystery of each story. My favorite author is Andrea Camilleri, he’s a Sicilian author who writes detective stories and his books tells about the adventures of the commissioner Montalbano.
