Reading
Hello
people! We were asked to write about a book that we had read or a reading
experience. On my “special” case, I am not into reading but I will take
advantage of this opportunity to explain the reason why I do not like reading.
First:
When it
comes to books, I must be interested in the story or the topic that it deals with.
Second:
I get bored
easily. In the case of books, there is a lot time devoted to the descriptions
of places and actions. I know that the author must use words carefully to help
us imagine the places and the way in which things occur. I am a person that
needs to read action every 3 or 4 lines, otherwise I get bored.
Well… is
not that I don’t like books in general. I prefer reading things like comic
books, manga, and a history book that talks about a topic that I’m interested
in.
For
example, I was very interested in the Second World War and I read a few books
and articles about it. As I read I got amazed of how things happened and how
Germany prepared itself for war. I imagined the situation perfectly and there
were no SO many descriptions as in a novel.
I also
enjoy reading manga. For those of you that don’t know what manga is, the term
manga in Japan is a word used to refer to both comics and cartooning.
"Manga" as a term used outside Japan refers to comics originally
published in Japan. I know that this kind of reading is not as rich in vocabulary
as a novel or other sort of books. But I enjoy them very much because they are
full of action and humor.
And well
friends that’s all I wanted to say. Let me know what you think…
Great post, Emi! J. K. Rowling says, "“If you don’t like to read, you haven’t found the right book.” ;)
ResponderBorrarI agree with Claudio! However, I love comics too. And manga I haven't really given it the opportunity it deserves. I've read quite a few but I know I have to read more before I can make my mind about it.
ResponderBorrarAnother thing, not all books are the way you described them. I also get bored with that kind of writing. Try reading the book I recommended in my blog. Don't read Bradbury because you are going to end up hating books (I love him, but he can be a little bit too descriptive most of the times)
Anyway, good post man.
PD: CHANGE THIS FU¨¨ING FONT!
Interesting post Emi.!!! Thanks for sharing it.. I didn't know the term Manga.. Now I can get an idea of it.. Thanks!!! 😀
ResponderBorrarI agree with your classmates' comments: there are books that are not so descriptive. In fact, nowadays there are several American writers who specialize in short stories and who write mostly dialogues.... But one should also respect others' feelings and tastes: if you do not like reading so much, ... that's ok, too!
