Doesn’t everybody love to read? I find it just so fascinating, Miss Dexter first taught me to read when I was in year one at four years old. It was my first year of ‘Big School’, I was one of the slowest to learn, well that’s what my mum tells me! Nowadays I enjoy reading in bed on my iPhone, I’m reading Mocking jay by Suzanne Collins. Contrary to popular belief, I read for thirty minutes each night minimum, depending on how tired I am. It’s such a great way to fall asleep.

My favorite book has to be Michael McIntyre’s auto-biography ‘Life and Laughing’ really love to read commodes; I think it’s my favorite genre.

My mother questioned me on this exclaiming ‘How did you manage to read all of the confusing words? In return I replied ‘I just missed out all the bigger words. The book doesn't make much sense.’ The best part of reading must be when you can zone completely out of life and practically live another which has been planned out and almost always has a happy ending, the worst part of reading is coming to the end of a book and wanting it to go on forever, also paper cuts are never good.

I always have loved reading; the fact that you get a better vocabulary result is really just a benefit. I don’t understand the type of people who boast ‘I’ve never finished a book willingly!’ they are just missing out on such a great deal of enjoyment. It’s sad that some people never get the chance to read a book due to not being able to read or even out of pure spitefulness is sad. Nobody can ever read all the books in the world, which is great as you know theres always something else to read about anything you want, the fact that such great things come out of such a small book is just amazing.
