Столько интересных книг можно найти в библиотеке, что иногда даже и не знаешь, что прочитать сейчас, а что потом. Я люблю ходить в библиотеки и находить там книгу, которая меня заинтересует уже тогда, когда я ее замечу издалека на полке; но мою самую любимую книгу я нашла не в библиотеке – мне ее принесла мама.
Это была большая, с темно-синей обложкой, книга Вениамина Каверина “Два капитана”, книга, о которой я ничего не слышала, как и не слышала ничего о самом авторе. С первых же страниц я увлеклась этой книгой и стала читать на одном дыхании. Оторвать меня от чтения было, наверное, невозможно. Наверное, все так читают свои любимые книги. Это была первая большая книга, которую я прочитала полностью, не пропустив ни странички, ни строчки. Содержание книги меня впечатлило. История жизни человека, который столько всего пережил, пережил Великую Отечественную Войну, сохранил свою любовь к одной единственной девушке, раскрыл историю экспедиции. Я считаю, что эта книга учит многому: как пережить боль, разочарования, предательство и не терять надежду на лучшее.
Книги – это источник знаний, это наш друг. А любимая книга – это то, что мы запомним и никогда больше не забудем, если только не найдем книгу, которую полюбим больше чем ту, первую любимую книгу, прочитанную еще в детстве. Любимой книгой становится только та, которую мы прочитываем от корки до корки, та, которую мы знаем практически наизусть. Для кого-то чтение книг – скучное занятие, а для кого то – хобби. So many interesting books can be found in the library that sometimes you do not even know what to read now and then. I like to go to libraries and find a book there that will interest me even when I notice it from afar on the shelf; but my favorite book I found not in the library – my mother brought it to me.
It was big, with dark blue cover, the book Veniamin Kaverin “Two captains”, the book, which I have not heard anything, nor heard anything about the author. From the first pages I became interested in this book and began to read in one breath. It was probably impossible to tear me away from reading. I guess everyone reads their favorite books like that. It was the first big book I read completely without missing a page or a line. The content of the book impressed me. The life story of a man who lived through so much, survived the great Patriotic War, kept his love for a single girl, revealed the history of the expedition. I believe that this book teaches a lot: how to survive the pain, frustration, betrayal and not to lose hope for the best.
Books are a source of knowledge, they are our friend. A favorite book-this is what we will remember and never forget, unless you find a book that will love more than that, the first favorite book, read as a child. Favorite book becomes only the one that we read from cover to cover, the one that we know almost by heart. For someone reading books is a boring occupation, and for someone – a hobby. But, anyway: everyone needs to read books!и читать нужно всем!
