Топик "мое хобби - чтение" (my hobby is reading) my hobby is reading. it has been a great pleasure for me since my childhood. the world of literature is fascinating and infinite. it certainly doesn’t mean that i love all the books. to tell the truth, finding a good book is not so easy. i prefer historical novels, classical and informative literature and some professional books concerning business and management as i am going to run a business of my own in future.   i never choose a book only by its colourful cover. as a rule, i look through its pages, read about the writer and his awards. my favourite writers are victor hugo, alexandre dumas and dan brown. it goes without saying that some of the books have become my favourites. when i open one of them i immerse in the world of my favourite heroes at once. a book is able to make me laugh or cry because i start feeling exactly what the characters feel. i experience somebody’s pain or joy and i understand that the art of the word in some books is extremely powerful. the book gives me a chance to look at our life through the author’s eyes, to analyze and agree or disagree with his point of view. sometimes a book can completely change my way of thinking or help me to solve some serious personal or psychological problem. unfortunately today most of people and teenagers are not fond of reading. they would rather prefer going to night clubs or just watching tv. they find reading a bit boring or a waste of time. to my mind everything depends on the book. i am sure that without reading one cannot become an intelligent and educated person. people would consider him to be ignorant, illiterate or even ill-mannered, his vocabulary would be quite poor. i should say that i enjoy reading not only books. i read magazines and i also surf the net and subscribe to interesting sites. these media can undoubtedly provide me with boundless and useful knowledge too. and by the way i often read e-books instead of the paper ones. the book is my best and precious friend and it’s always with me. i devote most of my free time to reading. i read in transport or when i have to wait in a queue. i always take a good book with me when i travel or go on holidays. and i usually read before going to bed because it helps me to unwind at the end of a long and stressful day. i never feel lonely when i have a great book in my hands.
