Book Reading Challenge!

“A good book is an event in my life”
(Stendal)

Every person has a hobby, even if he or she denies it. Sometimes people think that what they do regularly is normal. The consistency of one’s own actions does not mean that others do as well. For example, my friend wakes up two hours earlier to watch a movie before work. What a glorious motivation to wake up early! He denies that this is a hobby. You should agree, it looks like a movie addiction.

One of my hobbies is reading. I don’t read every day. This activity brings me pleasure, and I give it priority over other types of passive relaxation, so I call it a hobby. I love reading a good book after a hard day. I like American writers. Almost all American celebs support book reading challenge nowadays. A book a week! Why not?

As a teenager, I was impressed by the American dream stories. Now I prefer the documentary and historical works. If I’m completely tired, then I choose something middle-brow, something mild and easy. Novels are my favorite literary genre. They are miniature and instructive. O`Henry has so smart swindlers…I.Azimov has so riveting robots… Their works don’t take much time but are remembered for a lifetime.

Everyone has their favorite things that cause a smile on his face or warmth in his heart. Hobbies are not just origami, knitting, or cycling. I believe that a hobby is something that brings pleasure, even if it happens occasionally. For me, this is fiction and non-fiction reading. This activity is not only pleasant but also useful. I advise everyone to fell in love with this thing. What is your hobby? What did you not notice before this post? Maybe you open your eyes to others. Tell about it!
