He also purchased some bedtime storybooks, and he read them to me every night. That was a wonderful memory. I keep the hobby as a habit even now. I now enjoy reading books such as novels and science fiction. Novel stories take me to another world as if I were on a magical journey with Harry Potter, Robinson Crusoe or Tom Sawyer. I can also learn more about the world, and I could explain such things as why apples always fall to the ground or why there is often a rainbow after the rain. I sometimes read books in my room, but I prefer going to my school library. I can borrow many books without having to pay any money.
