My Reading Habits.

Well,I do not know when I started to pick up books and learnt how to read but I guess it all started somehow!I guess the first few books I read were those that were mainly pictures with GIGANTIC or little words on them.i couldnt help it,I was just a kid.

As time passed and I grew up and i started to read more profound books(Thank GOD)These included books written by famous writers like Enid Blyton and Roald Dahl(what a hard name to spell!)I read books like BFG,Charlie and the Chocolate Factory(-.-)just to name a few.....As time flew by(again..)i started to read novels and other books...

I cant really remember the first novel I read, but I think it was by a female author(not much information?I know...).Still one of the most prominent books that have CHANGED my life came from the one and only Mitch Albom. The first book I read that was written by him was "The Five People You Meet in Heaven"even though it was written after "Tuesdays With Morrie"(I was ignorant then=])The moment i read"Tuesdays With Morrie",it overwhelmed me with emotions words alone cannot describe.They were mostly,though,grief and sympathy for Morrie.Even so, the lessons he taught were really aplicable to present day situations in life.Now I know this might sound corny,but i remembered times when i really wanted to break down,but this book really taught me to let go.Maybe it is because I have not read enough books yet,but up till today,up till this moment when im typing this sentence,this word, this book is THE best book I have ever read.

Okay, now to more recent reads(I meant during my P6 days). I got introduced to Nicci French by one of my ex-tutors,after she told each of us in our class to bring home a book she had laid out on a table in front of us.As I was usually slower,i got beaten to the more exciting books,in the end haveing to settle for "Beneath The Skin" written by Nicci French.I went home to read it as the teacher wanted us to write a book review about the books we were reading.Slowly but surely,the book got more and more interesting,as twists and turns complicated the already captivating plot.The book's theme was about crime,psycology at some point,and mystery.I started searching for books written by her after my first read and soon after borrowed two more books by her(I could only find two at that time).The books were equally intersting,her genre mainly specialising in those of action and thrillers,mystery and crime, and suspense.

Wow guess I got carried away.Well thats it!My reading habits!

    PS If Philip had apologized and made the track team, would that have made a difference?
