MY READING HABITS

I am usually interested in reading a book where the plot is different from the career I am studying. I don't have a favorite genre, although lately fantasy books have caught my attention. I find it amazing to think how a person is able to imagine such amazing things as a different world and also create people that every time you read them are like real people. Harry Potter is one of my favorite sagas, it fulfills all the expectations you can have from a fantasy book. In many occasions I read short and easy to read e-books, since I don't have much time, but I don't want to leave my habits aside, so short stories fulfill that function and allow me to do one of the things I love the most: reading.
