Reading makes a writer and most writers are good readers. You are writers because of those amazing books that you read. Good books nurture language and make good scholars. Did you come across these books?
A group sets out to go to Treasure Island to look for hidden treasure. Among the group is a small boy by the name of Jim Hawkins. During this dangerous and adventurous journey, the boy comes face to face with pirates. There is one with one limb as the other was cut off.
The story is very enjoyable and I cannot recall all that I read in this book. Was the treasure found? Yes, but it brought war and many deaths. This is one of the books which sharpened me and prepared me for the task which was ahead.
This was another of the books that I read as a child. It talks of a boy who was as tiny as a thumb that his parents named him Tom Thumb. As much as they tried to feed him well, he remained as tiny as a thumb. The boy was however, very clever.
One day his father, who was a woodcutter, fell sick. The boy offered to fetch firewood for the dad. He was put in a donkey’s ear where the boy commanded it where to go. Curious men had to follow the taking donkey and were the ones who assisted the boy to pack firewood on the donkey. They put him back into the ear and he ordered it on.

The men however, had other ideas. They wanted to buy the boy to use him in acting. What a proposal!
Did they buy the boy? Yes they did. Yet adventure after adventure befell the boy as he tried to escape from the men. He was swallowed by a cow. It was slaughtered and the intestines plus the boy inside thrown away. It was swallowed by a hyena. It took the boy in its bowels home.
Quite interesting indeed! I loved to read and re-read it.
This is a boy who was in a home whereby they were served with very little food. Asking for more was unheard of. Yet Oliver Twist asked for more which brought him into great problems. I read the book but do not really know how the story ended. You may know it and feel like completing it for us.
These books and stories were very good. Are they still in the market? I would like to read them again. I wonder who the authors of those books were!

Honestly saying I am writing since many years, but I never completed a single book. That is true that for becoming good writer one must need to keep reading lots of book. But instead of books, I love to read different online blogs. I am following many online technology related blogs and I used to keep reading them regularly whenever they have some new posts. So that's why may be I am writing more related to technology stuff.
But surely I will try to read few books too but yes it should be my interest related. Good going.
You are a good writer though. I love reading interesting stuff. I love adventure.
It used to be when I get hold of a book, I used not to put it down till I reach its end. There were too many good story books like 'Alice in wonderland','Guilliver's travels' and many more. They were good
I remember that when I was still a little kid I love reading stories in the books, books from school. Those times when there were no kindle and ebooks, no facebook and amazon including wattpad, so the best entertainment for reading is through the hard copy, books, comics and papers.
I have read Filipino stories like Bernardo Carpio-- who is a strong person who bent the two mountains from colliding each other. I have also read the Florante and Laura and many more stories and epics that build my talent as a writer.
