WHAT KIND OF READER ARE YOU?

Reading is a habit which gives a unique pleasure in life. Doubtlessly, the regular reading has helped to develop my writing skill.
For me, English was not a spoken language during my childhood until the beginning of the secondary education when the medium of instruction changed to English from my Indian language. English became mandatory to learn. Although this was a challenging change, I forced a habit of reading to develop my English skill.
My interest for reading English books developed after reading the Kon-Tiki Expedition filled with adventure and excitement. Regularly, I began to read the books that inspired me more from the authors like Earl Stanley Gardner, Nevil Shute, Ian Fleming, etc., whose books gave different genres that primarily interested me.
I like ROMANCE stories where a love is expressed with emotion and suspense, HISTORY gives the knowledge of the past, ADVENTURE where I get to go beyond one place, and TRAVEL to enhance my worldly knowledge.
To sum with a quote from George R.R. Martin: “A reader lives a thousand lives before death, The one who never reads lives only one.”
