Collage

 

    When I was young, I hated to read. It was boring and waste of time to little boy. But after I got into middle school, I realized that my lack of background knowledge compared to others then I started to read many books and like reading. Now when I read book, it helps me to relax and feels like happily isolated. Because nobody bothers me so I can use my own time entirely for me. 

    I am such a slow reader. I have a strange obsession that try not to miss any information in the book. Others can think me as weirdo but this is my reading habit that is already set. So it takes almost a week to read 1 book to me and if it is English book, it may takes much more days. 

   My favorite foreign author is Franz Kafka. He wrote fiction called 'Metamorphosis' which has been cited as one of the masterpieces of the 20th century and studied in colleges all over the world. My favorite Korean author is Lee Juck. He is actually musician but he also wrote fiction based on his dreams and imagination. He, as musician, achieved a lot of things such as awards, royalty, respect from other musicians. But I think he has strong desire to be author. And he's good at writing in fact. Some of his music shows that how amazing he is as writer. If we look at the lyric of his song, one whole perfect story is in it. 

   I usually read fiction, poem, comic, philosophy. It may sounds old and dull that read books about philosophy, but sometimes interesting part is exist in philosophy. Funny thing is I never had experience that finished philosophy books. It is hard even though I like to read it. 

   I like to read books at silent place like library, my room. If around of me is noisy, I can't concentrate on anything. Also, I like to read alone. So when I'm at the library, I always try to find the seat that no one around me.
