Generally I am a social person and love spending time with friends and family; meanwhile I also treasure the time I keep to myself and the moments when I try getting along with myself. The best way I like to communicate with myself is reading. I started reading when I was a little kid, and I am glad that I have retained this habit as well as hobby no matter how little time I have. Reading plays a very essential part in my life and through that, I can learn the knowledge that I cannot learn in schools.
My favorite books are novels, including mystery stories, detective stories and mythology, and I am also interested in history and culture-related books. Between the lines in books, I am excited to find another world which is very different from the one we are living in and you even can create your own wonderland by using your imaginations. Reading makes me feel calm so that I can stay away from the crowds and noises. Whenever I feel stressful or frustrated, I take a break to read. It is an efficient way to get away from pressures and relax; it is also beneficial because you can revisit your own life and know yourself better by reading.
The book I am currently reading is Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, who is one of my favorite authors and storytellers. When I am reading it I was totally involved in the story and forgot about time. I feel like I am watching a movie with so many anxious stories going on at the same time, and I am desperate to know what is going to happen next. I also need to do some research while reading this book, not just because there are many English and French words I do not know, but also because it is closely related to religions, art and history. This book is amazing due to its entertainment and educational meanings. All the pictures play in my head while I read, and gradually I built my own world where I am the king.
I also write my own novels and stories, and some of them were published on literature websites, where I met many new friends who share the same hobby and interests as me.
