This is a my own work and not fiction or worse, plagiarism. I like reading books. I've read many books over the course of 20-something years of my life. Most of them were fiction. A very few weren't.
My first fictional friend was Matilda. She's a genius child prodigy with supernatural powers. Ronald Dahl created a masterpiece in the writing of this book. There's drama, sadness, happiness, joy, evil, great sorrow, jealousy and love. All woven together so beautifully, that it's hard to not be moved when you read it. Matilda was only the first of series of fictional friends I made. Artemis Fowl, Harry Potter, Holly Short, Robert Langdon, Albus Dumbledore - I met great friends who taught me to be brave, clever and funny.
My non-fictional readings were few, but as good. I read several volumes of Chicken Soup (for the Soul, for the Friend, for the Teenage Soul...). One of the most heart-rendering books I read at this time has to be "Last Lecture by Randy Pausch". It is the story of a man who delivers his last lecture as a professor, as a legacy for his children to inherit when they grow up. He's suffering from cancer and his days are numbered few. This is a true and inspiring story, one I feel all of must must read at least once in our lives. I also read a ton of books about Astronomy, this being a topic that greatly interests me.
