Hey Martin! I'm going to edit this as though I was editing a piece for publishing. I'll just make the edits right in it, and then hopefully as you read it you'll see what I've changed. Now I really want to read Eragon and The Messenger!

Favourite books

I've been reading books since my childhood and the genres I've been most interested in have varied over time. When I was about 10-11 years old I read adventure stories, mainly about groups of small kids. Later on I read fantasy stories. The first fantasy books I read were Tolkien's stories, Harry Potter (of course :)) and many others. I also want to mention Paolini's series about Eragon, because this story really hooked me. For me, it's a masterpiece.

Nowadays I'm not genre-focused. If I am interested about the story, then it's worth reading. I enjoy walking around in the shelves of book stores, picking up various books and choosing one of them. A few months ago I bought a book called The Messenger. It's written by the same author as The Book Thief. The story is about young man who is not satisfied with his life at all. After he accidentally and ridiculously [you might mean "coincidentally" or perhaps "unbelievably" or "preposterously"] catches a bank robber in the act, somebody starts sending him cards with written tasks. If he doesn't obey them, he is beaten and threatened. But the tasks themselves serve a good purpose. Once he chases out of a city a man who was beating his wife. Another time he just buys and ice-cream for a woman who feels alone. The last tasks are focused on his friends and eventually he has a better life himself because while helping other people, he had to learn new things and come out of his box, and so his personality changes as well as his thinking.
