There are so many interesting genres in literature: fairy tales, novels, fantasy, lyrics.

Until recently, books were of great value, and the gift of reading was great and prestigious. Now books are given little attention, just forgetting about them. "Why read a thick book when you can watch a movie?" my peers think. And I don't agree with them!

When I read, I imagine myself in the place of the heroes, analyze their actions, and find answers to exciting questions, I get to know the world. And when I watch the adaptation of the novel? Yes, it is interesting, colorful, but it does not allow you to think, analyze. We just swallow the content. And gradually we become callous in soul, we become indifferent, empty robots. Is this what we want from life?

Why do I love books? For me, books are friends, teachers, mentors. And their authors seem to me to be wise and kind wizards.

I remember that in the first grade I was presented with a collection of myths and legends "The Enchanted World". I came home from school and enthusiastically plunged into the world of sorcerers and wizards. Then I met Polianna Eleanor Porter, Alisa Kira Bulycheva, Anna of Green Gables Lucy Maud Montgomery. They were my friends and helped me find a way out of difficult situations.

And one day, my mother brought a binder of Guiding Star magazines. And then I was overwhelmed by a wave of different conflicting characters, new authors. They seemed to know everything about me and whisper clues to me through the lips of their heroes, my peers. I always look forward to a new issue.

And recently, my godmother gave me a library of books by Y. Voznesenskaya “Once upon a time there was an old woman in green shoes”, “100 days before the flood”, “Julianna”, “Satisfy my sorrows ...”, etc. These works are exciting and instructive. The language of the books is very accessible and easily teaches the Orthodox faith, makes you think about your own life. It doesn't matter at what age you read it.

I believe that the author wanted to show the reader how prayer and obedience help us. It is necessary to listen to the voice of your angel, which is present in each of us. The guardian angel is trying to guide a person on the true path and is trying to protect us from wrong deeds.

We need Yu. Voznesenskaya's books. Because television and social networks destroy our souls. And books make us think about our life, soul, about people close and dear to us. About what awaits us in the future life. The author very convincingly tells about what is happening with the characters, that we do not noticeably become participants in the events and try on their actions.

The Orthodox book teaches us to live, to act according to the will of God, and most importantly, to save our souls from eternal torment. Reading an Orthodox work, we plunge into the wonderful world of goodness, love, light. In my opinion, every family should have Orthodox books in their home library.

And how much good is in my books!

I began my acquaintance with literature from the study of fairy tales, these were fairy tales of the peoples of the world, but most of all I liked the Russian ones, with Ivanushki, Baba Yaga, goblin and heroes. Then came the turn of stories about honesty, kindness, politeness, I don’t remember all the names, but I still remember the meaning. Perhaps the small number of cartoons and children's films on TV in the 80s and 90s, the lack of computers and computer games left no choice and the children read so much, I don't know.

I remember that I went to school at the age of 6 and already knew how to read and count up to 100. In the second grade, I took first place in reading speed per minute (if I'm not mistaken, 90 words / minute), there used to be such a standard. It was necessary to read the text for 5 minutes, then the number of words read was divided by 5 minutes and the number of words per minute was obtained.

At school, I had to study a lot of fiction, which was a “mandatory program”. Many students hacked and wrote an essay on some books using only the "critic" textbook, sometimes in libraries they "licked off" the opinions of various literary critics and passed them off as their own.

I was no exception, I will say more, I do not know a single student who would have read the entire compulsory school curriculum in literature. I always wanted to read about travel, sea battles, scouts, war, but not all literature during the Soviet Union met these requirements, and because of this I had to be cunning.

Over the years, the tastes and requirements of the reader change, this is normal. There were 8 years in my life when I practically did not study new books, but they passed.

After the birth of my son, I did not have the opportunity and time to read books, I preferred to listen in audio format. I chose good translations or voiceovers by professional actors, listened to works in headphones while sitting on a bench while my son slept next to me in a stroller.

By the way, I created my blog using a netbook, sitting on a bench, next to my sleeping son. I will write about it soon, so as not to miss it, subscribe to updates

For the rest of my life, I remember the incident about how we were asked to study the novel “The Gadfly” by Lilian Voynich for extracurricular reading. I was busy playing hockey all day before, because there was a lot of snow in those days, and I did not complete this task. They gave me a “deuce”, the teacher of Russian language and literature was very strict, for me it was a challenge.

I always studied well or excellently, when I came home, the first thing I did was take this novel and read it avidly. The impressions from reading still excite my mind, whoever has not read it, I recommend, by the way, the film adaptation of 1980 is also at a high level, you can watch it.

After that, I corrected the “deuce” with a good story about this novel in the next lesson.

Over time, I read various works, there were both romantic and military, adventure, adventurous and espionage, detective and philosophical. Recently I have read many novels by Paolo Caglio, very interesting and instructive.

In conclusion, I want to say a little about the following:

How do books help me?

1. Develop and constantly replenish your vocabulary, broaden your horizons. When blogging, this is very important, because you need to express your thoughts in an interesting way, right?

2. Correctly formulate and express your thoughts.

3. Develops creative thinking, imagination.

4. Develop logical and imaginative thinking.

5. Relax, distract from stress, politics and other things.

6. Give strength, motivate for new achievements and conquering new heights. After all, we often want to be like the heroes of literary works, this is wonderful!

7. Children's books help to lay the child's main positive character traits, and I remember my youth. I'm talking about the joint study of modern children's books with my son.

8. Books are an excellent source of humor, many quotes from works have long become winged.

What book have you read lately and when do you remember? Share your impressions in the comments, do you like to read or listen to audiobooks more?

See you!

The first book I read myself was a collection of Russian folk tales. The magical world where the Gorynychi Serpents, Vasilisa the Beautiful and Ivan Tsarevich live, where the animals talk, and in the forest you can see the goblin and stumble upon the hut of Baba Yaga, could not but please me.

And until now, I love fairy tales most of all, everything magical and unusual. The best fairy tale, in my opinion, is Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.

In addition, I like to get to know people through books, learn from the life experience of writers, their knowledge of the people they put into their works, see distant times and countries through the eyes of those who lived in that era. Nothing can replace a book: neither the best theatrical production in the world, nor the film of the most talented director.

My generation can't read. Naturally, I do not mean the ability to put letters into syllables, and syllables into words. No, we are talking about something completely different: we do not know how to enjoy the book, empathize with the characters, appreciate the talent of the writer and his mastery of the word. A disc with a Hollywood action movie or a new computer game means much more to any eleventh grader than the entire collection of Dostoevsky's works, and, unfortunately, there are very few exceptions to this rule. This applies not only to my generation: the culture of reading began to gradually disappear a long time ago.

Perhaps this is because in recent decades, life has become much more dynamic and people do not have enough time to read. In addition, it is difficult for a book to compete with the constantly emerging novelties of cinema, the possibilities of the Internet, and computer games. Gradually, classical literature becomes accessible to a relatively small number of people who are able to understand and appreciate the treasures it offers.

There are many exciting things in the world that you can and want to do in your free time. I have many different hobbies: drawing, computer games, music… However, most of all I like to read.

Reading is not a very popular hobby these days. Many of my mom's friends complain that they can't get their child to read. I don't understand, why force? After all, there is nothing more exciting than reading.

I fondly remember the books I read as a child. The adventures of Dunno and his friends, Ellie's magical journeys, the amazing people of Oz fascinated me. Then came more serious books that made me think about serious questions, awakened my imagination. There are many such books. And I am infinitely grateful to these amazing people, writers, who allow their readers to immerse themselves in the unique world of their works.

Books allow readers to live the lives of their characters. Maybe that's why I love reading so much. Reading, you immerse yourself in the life of the characters, live their emotions, experience and rejoice with them. I think books give their readers a great experience. After all, we often learn from our mistakes. And when you read books, you understand how everything in the world is interconnected, what actions can lead to what consequences. Thus, books teach a lot, make us wiser. Reading is also a pleasant way to relax and unwind. After reading a couple of pages of your favorite work, you plunge into a completely different world, which is often more interesting, brighter, more dynamic than the real one. This is a unique opportunity to travel across countries and eras without getting up from your favorite sofa.

The modern alternative to books is cinema. Many of my peers say that why read, if now you can often see a screen version of a particular book. I agree that modern films are full of special effects, they are very bright. However, I don't think cinema will ever replace fiction. Very often, when I see a film adaptation of my favorite book, I am disappointed, because I didn’t imagine everything that way. Movies often miss important details that make this book so special and meaningful.

I sometimes feel sad when I realize that life is too short to read all the interesting books. But even more so, one should strive to read as much as possible, at least the best ones.

It was a foggy autumn morning. I walked through the forest deep in thought. I walked slowly, slowly, and the wind fluttered my scarf and leaves hanging from high branches. They swayed in the wind and seemed to be talking peacefully about something. What were those leaves whispering about? Perhaps they whispered about the past summer and the hot rays of the sun, without which now they have become so yellow and dry. Perhaps they were trying to call for cool streams that could give them drink and bring them back to life. Perhaps they were whispering about me. But only a whisper […]
Lake Baikal is known all over the world. It is known for being the largest and deepest lake in the world. The water in the lake is drinkable, so it is very valuable. Water in Baikal is not only drinking, but also medicinal. It is saturated with minerals and oxygen, so its use has a positive effect on human health. Baikal is located in a deep depression and is surrounded on all sides by mountain ranges. The area near the lake is very beautiful and has rich flora and fauna. Also, many species of fish live in the lake – almost 50 […]
I live in a green and beautiful country. It's called Belarus. Her unusual name speaks of the purity of these places and unusual landscapes. They exude peace, spaciousness and kindness. And from this I want to do something, enjoy life and admire nature. There are a lot of rivers and lakes in my country. They gently splash in the summer. In the spring, their sonorous murmur is heard. In winter, the mirror surface attracts ice skating enthusiasts. Yellow leaves glide across the water in autumn. They talk about the imminent cooling and the upcoming hibernation. […]
Autumn beauty in a bright dress. In summer, rowan is invisible. It merges with other trees. But in autumn, when the trees are dressed in yellow outfits, it can be seen from afar. Bright red berries attract the attention of people and birds. People admire the tree. Birds feast on his gifts. Even in winter, when snow is whitening everywhere, mountain ash pleases with its juicy tassels. Her images can be found on many New Year's cards. Artists love mountain ash because it makes winter more fun and colorful. They love wood and poets. Her […]
There are many wonderful professions, and each of them is undoubtedly necessary for our world. Someone builds buildings, someone extracts useful resources for the country, someone helps people dress stylishly. Any profession, like any person, is completely different, but all of them must certainly eat. That is why such a profession as a cook appeared. At first glance, it may seem that the kitchen is an uncomplicated area. What's so difficult about cooking? But in fact, the art of cooking is one of […]
Since childhood, my parents have told me that our country is the largest and strongest in the world. At school, in the classroom, the teacher and I read a lot of poems dedicated to Russia. And I believe that every Russian should be proud of his Motherland. We are proud of our grandparents. They fought against the Nazis so that today we could live in a quiet and peaceful world, so that we, their children and grandchildren, would not be affected by the arrow of war. My Motherland has not lost a single war, and if things were bad, Russia would still […]
Language ... How much meaning carries one word of five letters. With the help of language, a person from early childhood gets the opportunity to know the world, convey emotions, communicate his needs, and communicate. A language arose in the distant prehistoric period, when our ancestors needed, during joint work, to convey their thoughts, feelings, desires to their relatives. With its help, we can now study any objects, phenomena, the world around us, and over time improve our knowledge. We've got […]
Since childhood, we go to school and study different subjects. Some believe that this is an unnecessary business and only takes away free time that can be spent on computer games and something else. I think differently. There is a Russian proverb: "Learning is light, and ignorance is darkness." This means that for those who learn a lot of new things and strive for this, a bright road to the future opens up ahead. And those who are lazy and do not study at school will remain all their lives in the darkness of stupidity and ignorance. People who aspire to […]
Today, the Internet is in almost every home. On the Internet you can find a lot of very useful information for study or for something else. Many people watch movies and play games on the Internet. Also, on the Internet you can find a job or even new friends. The Internet helps to keep in touch with relatives and friends who live far away. Thanks to the Internet, you can contact them at any moment. Mom often cooks delicious dishes that she found on the Internet. Also, the Internet will help those who like to read, but […]
Our speech consists of many words, thanks to which any thought can be conveyed. For ease of use, all words are divided into groups (parts of speech). Each of them has its own name. Noun. This is a very important part of speech. It means: an object, a phenomenon, a substance, a property, an action and a process, a name and a name. For example, rain is a natural phenomenon, a pen is an object, running is an action, Natalya is a female name, sugar is a substance, and temperature is a property. Many other examples could be given. Names […]
What is the world? To live in the world is the most important thing that can be on Earth. No war will make people happy, and even by increasing their own territories, at the cost of war, they do not become richer morally. After all, no war is complete without death. And those families where they lose their sons, husbands and fathers, even if they know that they are heroes, will still never enjoy victory, having received the loss of a loved one. Only peace can achieve happiness. Only through peaceful negotiations should the rulers of different countries communicate with the people and […]
My grandmother's name is Irina Aleksandrovna. She lives in the Crimea, in the village of Koreiz. Every summer my parents and I go to visit her. I really like living with my grandmother, walking along the narrow streets and green alleys of Miskhor and Koreiz, sunbathing on the beach and swimming in the Black Sea. Now my grandmother is retired, and earlier she worked as a nurse in a sanatorium for children. Sometimes she took me to work with her. When grandmother put on a white coat, she became strict and a little alien. I helped her take the temperature of the children - carry […]
Our whole life is governed by certain sets of rules, the absence of which can provoke anarchy. Just imagine if the rules of the road, the constitution and the criminal code, the rules of conduct in public places are canceled, chaos will begin. The same applies to speech etiquette. Today, many do not attach much importance to the culture of speech, for example, in social networks you can increasingly meet young people who write illiterately, on the street - illiterate and rudely communicating. I think this is a problem […]
Since ancient times, language has helped people understand each other. A person has repeatedly thought about why he is needed, who invented him and when? And why is it different from the language of animals and other peoples. Unlike the signal cry of animals, with the help of language, a person can convey a whole range of emotions, his mood, information. Depending on the nationality, each person has his own language. We live in Russia, so our native language is Russian. Russian is spoken by our parents, friends, as well as great writers […]
It was a beautiful day - June 22, 1941. People were going about their usual business when the terrible news sounded - the war began. On this day, fascist Germany, which had conquered Europe up to this point, attacked Russia as well. No one doubted that our Motherland would be able to defeat the enemy. Thanks to patriotism and heroism, our people were able to survive this terrible time. In the period from 41 to 45 years of the last century, the country lost millions of people. They fell victim to relentless battles for territory and power. Neither […]
Native and the best in the world, my Russia. This summer, my parents and sister and I went on vacation to the sea in the city of Sochi. There were several other families where we lived. A young couple (they recently got married) came from Tatarstan, they said that they met when they worked on the construction of sports facilities for the Universiade. In the room next to us lived a family with four small children from Kuzbass, their father is a miner, extracts coal (he called it "black gold"). Another family came from the Voronezh region, […]
Friendship is a mutual, vivid feeling, in no way inferior to love. Friendship is not only necessary, it is simply necessary to be friends. After all, not a single person in the world can live all his life alone, a person, both for personal growth and for spiritual, simply needs communication. Without friendship, we begin to withdraw into ourselves, suffer from misunderstanding and understatement. For me, a close friend is equated to a brother, sister. Such relationships are not afraid of any problems, life's hardships. Everyone has their own understanding of […]
My home is my castle. This is true! It does not have thick walls and towers. But my small and friendly family lives in it. My house is a simple apartment with windows. From the fact that my mother always jokes, and my father plays along with her, the walls of our apartment are always filled with light and warmth. I have an older sister. We don't always get along, but I still miss my sister's laugh. After school, I want to run home on the steps of the entrance. I know I'll open the door and smell Mom and Dad's shoe polish. I will step over […]
The Poetry Boom of the Sixties of the 20th Century The sixties of the 20th century were the time of the rise of Russian poetry. Finally, a thaw came, many prohibitions were lifted, and the authors were able to express their opinions openly, without fear of reprisals and expulsions. Collections of poems began to appear so often that, perhaps, there was never such a "publishing boom" in the field of poetry, either before or after. "Business cards" of this time - B. Akhmadulina, E. Yevtushenko, R. Rozhdestvensky, N. Rubtsov, and, of course, the bard-rebel […]
Adults love to repeat the words of the Russian poet A.S. Pushkin "Reading is the best skill." I was taught to read at the age of 4. And I love to read different books. Especially real ones that are printed on paper. I like to first look at the pictures in the book and imagine what it is about. Then I start reading. The plot of the book captivates me completely. You can learn a lot from books. There are encyclopedias. They talk about everything that is in the world. Of these, the most entertaining about various […]

I love reading books, especially adventure ones. I read them in order to feel like a hero, to visit different places with him, to feel in different situations and experience incredible adventures while sitting at home with a book. Books take us to a completely different world, where anything is possible, where you can be whoever you want to be. Books teach us to dream, to fantasize. With the help of books, we gain invaluable experience, evaluate the mistakes of heroes and try not to repeat them in life. Books bring a lot of useful things into our lives.

I also really enjoy watching movies that are based on a book. It's very interesting to look for differences between the original and the director's interpretation.

This allows you to take a fresh look at a familiar story and rethink it.

Reading is a very exciting activity. Sometimes you are so deeply immersed in history that you do not notice anything around. You feel like a part of the adventure described on the pages, you plunge into it with your head and you can no longer emerge so easily. This has happened to me several times, and it's an amazing feeling. But in order to plunge into history so much, you need to find a book that will captivate and interest.
