Books

Books have been apart of my entire life, and I'm not much of a reader. I only read when I have to for school, otherwise you'll never see me come 10 feet within a book. I've read so many books that by default I had to like some of them. My favorite book ever, is What I Wish I Knew When I Was 20, by Tina Seelig. This book is easily my favorite book is because the book illustrates how people who are successful have struggled in their professional fields. These people who failed originally did not quit on themselves, instead they got back up from falling and worked on what they did wrong. When people hear stories about failing at first before becoming successful, it tends to stick with them for awhile or forever. Amazing book, I recommend to EVERYONE. 1984, by George Orwell was is also one of my favorite books. The truth about this book was that I didn't read the book that much, until my teacher would go over the what we read in class. I really started to read the book towards the climax of the book. When the main character and his girlfriend make a pact to not give up their secrets to the authority, is something that might stay with me forever. The couple were tested by the government about their secrets and they both folded and could not resist the torture. I don't remember if not at the end of the book when they meet in the cafe, if either said if they lied to keep their promise in tact. Another interesting thing about this book that was interesting was that the author would make predictions of the future, which has come true today. Fahrenheit 451, by Ray Bradbury is the last book I enjoyed reading. What caught my attention in this book is the fact the firemen were starting fires to burn books. This might be ironic for a guy that hates book, but I would never want to books burned. Books have so much power and knowledge in them that they should never be burned. I thought the role of Big Brother, who watches everything you do, was also something that caught my eye. The rebel in this book who refuses to burn books, is actually told on by his wife. He eventually fled to where he could not be found.
