I'm going to tell you something about myself. You probably don't know it (because I haven't told you of course), but I'm addicted to books!
Nine or ten years ago I used to read a book every day, but nowadays I usually only read 3 to 5 books per month because I don't have much time.
It wasn't always this way though; I used to hate books.
I remember one day in December when I was 9 or 10. The next day was the beginning of the school holidays/vacation and I was very excited about it because I would finally be able to play with my toys and video games!
Suddenly, my father turned to me and said, "During your vacation I want you to read this book."
For a second I thought to myself, "Ok I'll just pretend to read it, but really I'll just read the introduction!"
But in the same moment he said, "After you've read it I'm going to ask you some questions about it!" So my plans went down the drain!
I took the book and looked at the title; it was worse than I thought! The book's title was "My Friend Che". Now tell me, what the hell kind of child reads a book like that!
My father has never given me a gift like toys or clothes, only books. For my birthday I got a book, on Children's Day yet another! So you can see how my father has built a library in our house over the years!
I thought my father was becoming crazy and trying to make me crazy like him!
But nowadays I don't complain, I just thank him for everything he has done for me!
