Go Read a Book!

Have you ever been so aggravated that you would do anything to just make your parents or siblings (a.k.a my brother, Yannick) leave you alone?

               

Whenever I’m bored and complain to my mom about it, she always tells me to “Go read a book!”  She’s been giving me the same answer for years. Once I do what she says, and I read a book often until real late and then, guess what, she tells me to stop reading and go to sleep.

My mom is right about reading. Once I really get into a book, it’s like I’m traveling, doing something and my boredom's gone. The book I’m reading now, Gilda Joyce “The Dead Drop” is set in Washington D.C. She’s working as an intern in the Spy Museum. In another book I just finished reading, The Mysterious Benedict Society, the main characters are whisked away on a secret mission to away fictional island, Normasan Island.

So for me, reading takes me to different places and do different things without leaving home, it’s all in my mind.
