    People often comment that Tve always got my head in a book. I just find that reading is such a great way to pass boring moments. I '11 read almost anything,but on the whole,I am likely to go for books that have received praise from a newspaper or magazine. And I guess I 'd have to say that my favourite kinds of books are modem thrillers(惊险小说) . The very best ones are those that keep you guessing right up until the end.

Henry Crawford

   I read modem novels,but generally,I prefer the classics,by authors like Dickens and Eliot,for example. However,no one compares to Jane Austen!People are often surprised when I tell them that Jane Austen is my favourite author because they think she only wrote romantic(浪漫的) novels. Her books do deal with love and marriage,but on the whole,they5 re actually more about general relationships and human nature.

Emily Hawthorne

    I used to read a lot of romantic novels. Now, I'm interested in biographies(传记) .I ve read about many different kinds of people. I enjoy autobiographies,too,but I sometimes wonder how true a picture they actually paint. I mean,if you wrote about yourself,you'd probably try to leave out anything that showed you in a bad light. In this case you,re more likely to get a more rounded picture of a person by reading a well-researched biography,jIan Reed

   I enjoy reading books that I can learn!something from. Books about historical events or I political problems,for example. I realise these kinds of books aren’ t everyone's cup of tea,but it's a pity that many people don't give them a try. I admit that in the past they could often be a bit tricky to read,but that has all changed now. These days,plenty of them are written in quite an entertaining style. You can learn quite a lot about the world by reading these kinds of books.
