I have a huge collection of books of different tastes in my own library. I read them and thus have earned knowledge over different interesting issues. Those books are very important for me

Although the books are of diversified categories, most of them are science fictions and novels of renowned authors. The books are highly important for me. I have bought around 80 per cent of the books while the remaining was given me as presents in different occasions by my parents, family members and friends. I have a hobby of collecting books of different genres. So, I have built a mini library inside my room. My parents inspired me on book reading when I was a kid of 9 years. Since then I was attracted to books and today in my 21, I am still collecting them. If I go abroad, I try to get books from the book stalls as they have a huge collection of books, especially the science fiction genre. I usually pass my leisure hours with the books. I go through the stories and get surprised after knowing the plots. The splendid events make me amazed and at times I try to make some adventures in my real life

Reading books is a matter of higher importance to me. I do not prefer wasting my moments other than reading the books. They give my joy and sometimes I feel sad too for the characters of the novels. It is said that books are the best friends and I have realised the saying after passing my precious moments with them. They have made me imagine the unseen and know the unknown. They are always with me and hope to keep them. If I consider the hobby in terms of money, it is invaluable. Money cannot buy the pleasures I have after reading the books. Moreover, it is impossible to replace with anything else for its unique features
