Now I’m a fan of
books, but as a child I hated reading, and each homework involving reading was
like a nightmare to me. Suddenly, it has changed, and whose fault was that? My
PE teacher that made me and my classmates running outside when the weather
wasn’t so good (it was really cold), and I got ill, it was a pneumonia, I
stayed at home for 3 weeks, I knew all TV commercials by heart and I was bored
to death. Then, I realized that some of my friends mentioned an extraordinary
book which was so engaging that once you start reading you just continue until
the end and I thought “maybe I could try and it won’t kill me”. I told my mum
to buy my this book. It felt like a desperate move, but I had no other idea
what to do with my time. My mum was skeptical, she didn’t believe that I might
actually read something that I didn’t have to read. I begged her, so she
finally bought that book for me. And it turned out that reading could be fun!
You just have to choose something you like. So I guess I will write from time
to time about my choices of books.
Oh and the book that
changed my life – it was Harry Potter ;) I still have a strong sentiment for
this series. And it really changed my life, because now, I couldn’t imagine myself
without reading.
If you know, my life is based on books and on literature. Books or stories make you rich! and...I wait your posts about books:-)
ReplyDeleteufff, Harry Potter <3
ReplyDeleteI thought your mother had bought you "Petit Robert" or something;)
Or "Le Grand Robert"! :D
Deleteor "Larousse":D
DeleteI can say that our generation grew up with Harry Potter. And also I remember the note on the cover:"Jeśli sądzisz, że w dobie komputerów sztuka czytania zanikła, zwłaszcza wśród dzieci, to niezawodny znak, że jesteś MUGOLEM!" :)
ReplyDeleteThat's probably the only case when a PE teacher turned someone into a book lover :) I guess you need to thank him/her for that ;)
