Angel Obermiller - On Reading

Books

     I love books. I love the way they feel when you hold them. I love the way old books smell. Turning a page in a book is like a surprise each time. I also like each word in them, old or new. You learn with each page you turn. Within a book I feel as though the problems that weigh on me have gone away. They get rid of my woes. But I do mostly prefer old books like Twilight, Harry Potter, The Brothers Grimm, and even Vampire Academy/Bloodline. Twilight books are the best when it comes to getting an old book out of the library, the yellow pages and the spine of the book that is sort of falling apart. But the really best part is that it smells like the past, and don’t get me started on the look of the old English with other words and even the way the words look. 

     I also love the imagery used. It's as though you are put into the world that you read about and can see and smell everything that is going on. That is how you know it is a good book. Although you learn a lot from books you also have fun. If you dive deep enough into a book genre you can learn more about yourself and what you are capable of. When I read I get new writing ideas. The more I read the more I learn about books like Twilight and other magical books. And by that I mean books that actually have magic and mystery, but also have things like witches, dragons, unicorns, fairies, mermaids, werewolves, and vampires. The next book I want to talk about is Harry Potter because it teaches you not to judge someone by how they look. It also teaches you how to work in a team and that all you need are two really good friends and as long as you have that then you will beset for life. It isn’t about being "Popular". It's about how you grow up. Books affect how we grow up and proceed in life as well. That is why books are my favorite.
