Reading 4 Fun
Hello, my name is Vasco and I'm currently in 9th grade. Reading is part of my family. My dad loves reading so much that he's office at home is basically a library. I've only enjoyed reading since sixth grade, when I moved to South Africa. Before sixth grade I thought that reading was boring, and I just didn't get any fun out of it. The summer I moved to South Africa, some friends recommended I read 'Percy Jackson', which I did, and really enjoyed. From there I moved on to more and more books, and more and more into Young Adult books. It is my favorite genre. I now love reading. I'm currently reading 'A Hundred Years of Solitude', which is quite complicated book. I started reading "the classics' this summer, and except for the fact that the font is usually very small, I really enjoy them. My favorite books ever are: 1984 and Animal Farm, both by George Orwell, and of course the Harry Potter series, by J. K. Rowling. I like Orwell's books because they are about communism, and talk about the flaws of totalitarian regimes, or through realistic fiction (like 1984), or in a form of parody (like in Animal Farm). I read nearly every day, and a lot specially during the weekend. Over the summer I read 5 books, which were: Lord of the Flies, 1984, Dorothy Must Die, More Happy then Not, and To Kill a Mockingbird. Reading is important because not only does it expand the mind and makes you learn new things, it also makes you a better writer.
