The book addiction If someone asks me how many books I have read, I coud not answer at once. Reading is my passion, I can not imagine my life without these silent, faithful friends. My first memorable book was Robinson Krusoe written by Daniel Defoe. The main character was my hero. I was 11 years old. Then I was impressed by detective childish stories. My book interests changed every year. I grew up and I started reading serious literature: Russian and foreign classic. The great writers created the whole fictional endless world for us, readers. I can not let myself miss this chance. When I read, I live, I exist, I breathe. Sometimes it seems useful to be with friends who live only in books than in real life.
