Books for pleasure

Sometimes feeling alone and the only thing that can save you are the books? You want to go somewhere else, to a better place where, for example, you want to see a prince saving a princess; love wins and bad is beaten? You think that sometimes books make you happy and with pleasure espect to see what will happen in the next chapter? In this post, I am going to show you some books that have impressed me and have made me feel better and I hope that you will read them.
The first book that I'm going to write, is not a book, but stories written by Hans Christian Andersen. He has written a lot of interesting ones and some of them are "The Steadfast Tin Soldier," "The Snow Queen," "The Little Mermaid," The Little Match Girl, " The Ugly Ducking," etc. The stories that were very interesting for me when I was little, and still are, are the "The Ugly Ducking" and "The Little Matching Girl."

The "Ugly Ducking" is a story about a bird born in a barnyard and is told to be ugly, not like the other birds. But in the end, it matures into a graceful swan which is the prettiest of all.


The story "The Little Match Girl" tells us about a girl who is selling matches in the cold New Year's eve. Nobody buys a match from her and she is freezing. She decides to light one match to cool herself and when she does this, she sees Christams tree and a holiday feast. After that, she sees a falling star which reminds her of her grandmother who has said that such stars meant that someone has died. She lights another match and sees her grandmother. She lights another and another to keep seeing that vision. The child dies of coldness and her grandmother takes her to Heaven and in the morning, in the new year, the people could see the red cheeks and the smile on the face of the dead girl. It is a sad but an interesting story that shows that the girl has seen the only person she wanted on the New Year's eve- her grandmother who has always given her love.


Two or three years ago these books were my favorites. The trilogy "Dark Materials" written by Philip Pulman. The three books are full with extraordinary things beyond our imagination. It is a story about a girl, Lyra, who doesn't know her parents and her only relative is her uncle, Lord Asriel (who, in the end of the first book, turns out to be her father). In the books are told Lyra's adventures till she finally "saves" the world.


Another book that was a very interesting for me was "The Catcher in The Rye" whose writer is J. D. Salinger. It is a story about a life of a "man" who faces a lot of difficulties during his life in a school in Pennsylvania.


I'm sure that everybody knows the books abour Sherlock Holmes written by Arthur Connan Doyle. They tell a story about a detective, Sherlock Holmes, who can undestand a lot about a man just by seeing it, and his helper, Dr. Watson. They take really complicated cases which have an unexpected end. My most favorite book of these series is "The Hound of the Baskervilles."


The last book that I am writing in this post is the "Arch of Triumph" written by Erich Maria Remarque. It is a story about a man whose name is Ravic who lives during the Second World War. He lives in Paris and is a surgeon, even though he doesn't have permission to do that. He meets and actress who changes his life forever... (that's what I remember)

Some people think that reading is just a lost of time but they are wrong. People have spent months and even years writing books that are interesting for people. If you read a book and undesrtand what's in it, it will become enjoyable for you and you will expect with pleasure to see what happens in the end.
