Yes, I really enjoy reading books. I try to make time for reading every day, even if it's just for a short while before bed. Books allow me to explore new ideas, learn about different topics, and immerse myself in imaginative stories.
⦁ What kinds of books do you prefer to read?
I have quite eclectic tastes when it comes to books. I enjoy reading literary fiction by authors like Haruki Murakami and Kazuo Ishiguro. I'm also a big fan of historical non-fiction, particularly books about ancient civilizations and important figures from history. And every now and then, I like to read a gripping thriller or mystery novel to mix things up.
⦁ Do you read more paper books or ebooks?
I tend to read more paper books than ebooks. There's just something special about holding a physical book in your hands, turning the pages, and seeing your progress as you read. However, I do appreciate the convenience of ebooks, especially when traveling. My e-reader allows me to carry a whole library with me wherever I go.
⦁ What was your favorite book as a child?
One book that really stands out from my childhood is "The Chronicles of Narnia" by C.S. Lewis. I was completely captivated by the magical world of Narnia and the adventures of the Pevensie children. The idea of stepping through a wardrobe into a snowy fantasy land filled with talking animals was endlessly fascinating to me as a kid.
⦁ Do you have a lot of books at home?
Yes, I have quite an extensive book collection at home. I have bookshelves in several rooms filled with novels, non-fiction, and reference books. I love being surrounded by books and being able to easily pick one up whenever I feel like reading. My collection is a mix of books I've collected over the years and ones I've inherited from family members.
⦁ Do you think reading is important for children?
Absolutely, I believe reading is crucial for a child's development. Reading helps build vocabulary, improve concentration, and stimulate the imagination. It exposes children to new ideas and perspectives beyond their own experiences. Reading together as a family can also be a wonderful bonding activity. I think it's important for children to see their parents reading and to have books readily available in the home. Developing a love of reading from an early age can lead to a lifetime of learning and enjoyment.
