Me? Reading? .. Ok, it's true



You have to read a lot, as much as you are able to, newspapers, novels, whatever you want. That's the message I got from my parents when I was a child. Reading, you learn new words, new contents, opinions from other people, new cultures and bla bla bla. That was the speech I used to hear. At school, i hated books, reading was so boring. Maybe because those books where awfull.The thing is that i hated everything related with books. Sometimes I read the newspaper, not the whole thing, but some articles, or some lines to be honest.
Here is the thing. One Summer, I decided to read something, a book, so I could close my parents mouth. I took the most popular book at that moment. Avoiding the risk of choosing something boring. I took a controvercial one, "The Davinci Code" written by Dan Brown.
It doesn't matter in wich religion you believe, of course they talk shit about the oppus dei, and tell facts some people say they are all lies, and for others true facts. Ignoring that or going beyond it, the secuences are great! It is like a serial from TV. As soon as you finish one chapter, you feel the need of reading the next one. And so on on every chapter. And it's like five in the morning and you still don't want to go to sleep, you have to make an effort to stop reading and leave something for the next day.
This Book. is the longest book I have read in my life and in less time. It was less than a week! For me that is a great succes.
I recomended it to everyone. Not for nothing was a best seller, and the most commented topic in more than a year.
'till next post, bye
