About My Hobby

Today, I am going to talk about my hobby, reading books.Reading books is very interesting. When I read a book, I can experience many things as if I become a character in the book.When I read a mystery, I become a detective and when I read a fantasy, I become a great magician! In real world,there are no chance to become like this, so I like reading books.


My mother read a picture book aloud every night when I was a nursery school child. I think this made me being interested in books. Then, my favorite  picture book is  "Mr.Crouton". This picture book is that Mr. Crouton who works in a baker sell breads. I remembered that all breads in this picture book look delicious for me. I and my brother liked this picture book so often wanted my mother to read this aloud.


When I was a elementary school student, I started to read novels which is no pictures.The first novel I read is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.This is very famous and this was in my elementary school library. I borrowed it and read. This book made me very excited, I quickly finished reading this and volume2 and 3, but unfortunately, Volume　4 hadn't published then so I started to read other books. There are many books in my house because my mother liked reading books, too. My mother especially like reading mystery, so I often read mystery book. Miyabe Miyuki and Higashino Keigo are my favorite mystery novelist.


In my high school, I took a lesson about "Kokoro", which is one of the most famous Japanese novel written by Natsume Souseki. I was impressed with this and I was interested in Japanese literature. I read many literatures written by Mishima Yukio, Dazai Osamu, Akutagawa Ryunosuke Nakahara Tyuya,and  Nagai Kafu.


Now, I am interested in foreign literature,but I have lot of homework to do and I have no time to read. Please give me more time!
