Verified answer

I like reading classical literature, historical and science books. I started reading classics when I was twelve; the first book I read was The Financier by Theodore Dreiser, which I have reread several times. I have been reading science books for only a year, but I have already read a number of books by such authors as Stephen Hawking, Michio Kaku and a few others.

It was my father who showed me how interesting history was when I was at junior school. I remember reading about ancient Egypt, Rome and German history. I prefer reading paper books because I like the pleasant feeling of paper in my hands and the way paper books smell. I have few friends who are really into reading; most of my friends prefer sports and arts.
