My Favorite Kind of Book

Reading is a way to tap into somebody else’s imagination. It can be fun, sad, mysterious, and even a little creepy.
It’s important to figure out what type of book you like. For me, it’s comedy. I love to read comedy, especially when I have a hard day of work at school. Comedy is a way for me to forget all the hard times I had that day.
I like to relax in my room and read a gut-busting comedy. The most recent was Flipped, by Wendelin Van Draanen, about a boy named Bryce and a girl named Juli. When Bryce moves into Juli’s neighborhood, she won’t leave him alone. It gets really funny when the whole direction of the book is flipped and everything seems to change.
I am also into adventure books like the Harry Potter series. J.K Rowling does a marvelous job of keeping the reader hooked to the storyline of Harry, the boy wizard. Harry Potter’s adventures at Hogwarts never get old to me.
No matter what your age or what you like to read, you can always find a book that is right for you. Reading is important because it helps you learn. Whether the book is fun, sad, mysterious, or creepy, turn off that TV and read!
