My Favorite Hobby
My favorite hobby has to be reading. I love to read and I read at least an hour each night. When I read it takes me into a whole different world and I can forget about everything around me. I have over 100 books and I have read them each at least 3 times (most of them more). If I'm mad or sad or whatever mood I am in I can just start reading and everything goes away except for what is happening in the book. I think I have only read one book that I absolutely hated (Old Man and The Sea). I enjoy most types of books as long as they are fiction; my favorites are mystery, adventure and fantasy. Some of my favorite books are the Harry Potter series, the Twilight series and Nancy Drew. My aunt started giving me the Nancy Drew books when I was in 3rd grade. Ever since then she has given me Nancy Drew books for my birthday and Christmas every year. I have almost the whole original series now(there is over 80).

You say you like a wide variety of books, which is your favorite? Why don't you like nonfiction? What would your life be missing if you weren't into reading?
what about the odyssey? haha but anyway, i really get this. i really like reading too. im re reading the harry potter books fo like the millionith time :) haha
You didn't like Old Man and the Sea? Wow, I actually like it...anyway, I also love reading. Have you read 1984 by George Orwell? I highly reccomend it.
i didnt mind Old Man and the Sea what much either, but i think its cool you like to read that much. i'm not sure i have the paitence to read that long!
i completely agree w/ everything you said and i think it's so cool you can read for so long. after reading for like 45 minutes i get really antsy and have to get up and do something else for a while. i think that what you said about if your in a mad or sad mood the feeling goes away when you read since your so into the book also fits with music which is pretty cool.
I just can't contain myself to reading a book, but that's me. I think it's good to have a wide variety of books, also reading can help your IQ I believe kind of like, what Subbu said. Check it out.
Mr.Voight- I don't really have a favorite kind of book. I don't like nonfiction because it tends to be boring. When I read I normally want to get away from the real world so reading nonfiction obviously wouldn't do that.
OMG, I same thing, so of course I agree with what you said. When I read I stop thinking about my problems. It especially helps when you are mad (like you said) because by the time you are done reading, you have usually calmed down.
Reading is friggin bomb. I read for 2 hours on some days, none on others, and I think my record was like 12 hours in a day when the 7th Harry Potter came out. I got it at 12:58,58 minutes after release, and read til 4:00 AM and went to sleep for 4 hours and finished it- then flipped it to the beginning and read it again to glean all the details I may have missed. I am a bookworm at times.
I'd be lost without being able to read. I'd die probably.
I love reading too! I didn't think the Old Man and the Sea was that bad, but it definitely wasn't one of my favorites.
