A book is a work of art that is written down on paper. It can make you feel many different emotions, like happy, funny, sad, and excited. A well written book can be a beautiful story, and you can really get connected with it. Books are wonderful in my opinion, because you get to learn new ideas about interesting topics. For example, witches and wizards in Harry Potter, Dystopian universes, like in The Hunger Games, and magical lands like in The Chronicles of Narnia. They can be an escape from the stress in your life, and you can connect with characters in books you enjoy. I think that everyone should read, because there are so many different topics in books that most people should be able to find a book they like. I have really liked reading since I was about four years old. I love fantasy, action/adventure, and mystery books. I think that some books are so good that you can enjoy them forever. For me an example of this is the Harry Potter series. I think I'll always love these books. Collectively, I enjoy the Harry Potter series more than any other books I have read so far. I hope that everybody can find a book they really love to read. Reading can really add something to your life, and be one thing that you love to do.

Do you enjoy the novel The Book Thief by Markus Zusak? Then you would definitely be interested in this exciting fan experience! Would you be interested in obtaining a collection of books collected by a young German girl during World War II? Some of them are slightly singed, and some are slightly dampened, and a few were given to her as gifts. They were well worn, and well read, and well loved when she had them. These books really meant a lot to this girl, and they helped her to get through the difficult times she faced. It's an odd little collection of books. Some of the titles include: The Grave Digger's Handbook, Faust the Dog, The Lighthouse, and The Shoulder Shrug. The girl and her foster father would read these books at night, after she'd had a nightmare, and they both really enjoyed them.
The girl's foster father traded cigarettes in exchange for some of these books. "Eight cigarettes per book", he said. The little girl went to the mayor's wife's house, and she showed the girl a room full of books. There were so many books that each wall was covered with them. The girl was amazed that a room like this existed. She couldn't stop herself from smiling. The mayor's wife allowed her to look around at the different book shelves. The girl felt so happy about this, and she found this to be a rather magical experience. The girl was illiterate when she stole her first book, but then her foster father taught her how to read. The book The Grave Digger's Handbook helped the girl to learn to deal with her brother's death while on the way to her foster parents' house.The girl loved reading her books at night, because reading made her feel good, and it was also a way for her to bond with her foster father.
If you want a chance to own a part of the book thief's history, then you should hurry to e-bay, and get yourself one of these books today!

I read, because it is a fun and exciting way to discover new ideas. You can learn more about what kinds of things you are interested in, and you can really start to appreciate an author's work. I believe that reading is important, because it is a good way to use your imagination. You can travel on amazing adventures, fly on broomsticks, find sunken treasure and meet wonderful characters. Reading can really be magical if you want it to be. Once you find a book or author that really peaks your interest, you can start to love reading, and find it very enjoyable.
