Journal Entry 17: My Favorite Stories

        I know that ever since I had memories I am a total book lover. People might consider me a rather sportive person now but I spend all my childhood reading books. Just for entertainments, nothing really related to the school. I am still a book lover now, just that I dot have enough time to do so. Believe it or not, even though they are not real think ones, I finish at least 20 books during this summer. To consider books I really love when I was young, I can remember that that I really love. I can recall a lot of books I read or some of books I like but I don’t know THE book I LOVE.

        I read everything when I was young (preschool to 4^th grade), from destiny stories to dictionaries. When I grew older, I am more into science fictions, detective, adventure novels, and novels that are interesting while contains a lesson, novels only. I think the plot of the story attracts me more than anything else. I don’t like plots that move too slow because too many descriptive details are sometimes unnecessary and they bored me. I also like novels that contains a certain useful background because then I can learn knowledge while having fun.  For example “The fifth Sally” tells about a girl with multiple personality disorder. The story is chain by Sally trying to fix her disorder, the story itself is interesting and memorable. On top of having a good time, after I finish that book I know a lot about multiple personality disorder, and I will always remember them. This way of remembering knowledge fits me a lot more than normal lecture. Because, first, I will be welling to “study” and second, I will probably remember the knowledge probably ten years after it.
