Book World

For this semester I have been reading books, Literate Lives in the Information Age written by Cynthia L. Selfe and Gail E. Hawisher as requirement for English class, and Major Problem in American History for History class. I think that both books are a reliable source of knowledge on American society. Additionally, I read Listen to music for music class and Psychology. I really enjoy reading all of them. In addition, I have been reading The Jerusalem Diamond written by Noah Gordon. This book describes a story of beautiful and precious diamond and the people whose lives it affected.
If you ask me what I feel about reading, my response is that “reading is something valuable and exciting.” Reading allows me to dislocate in time and space. Moreover, I can identify myself with a book characters and in some way experience their emotions. Reading has also the ability to enrich and develop my imaginationJ.
There are books that I recommend
No.1 Leo Tolstoy: Anna Karenina
No.2 Carlos Ruiz Zafon: The Shadow of the Wind
No.3 Collen Mc Cullough: The Thorn Birds
No.4 Ken Kesey: One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
No.5 Ryszard Kapuscinski: Travels with Herodotus
