Reading

Literature is separated mainly into poetry, prose and drama. Poetry uses various artistic elements, such as rhyme or rhythm. Those, by who is poetry written is called poet. Contrariwise, prose and drama are rhymeless text. Prose can be sorted according to it’s range into novel, amendment, narrative etc. Drama is created via monologue and duologue and is used in speakies, movies or radio broadcasts too.

I like reading very much. Books are in many ways better than films.
Story in book is mostly described in much greater details, so it could be better understood than from film. When one reads a book, he has to be more concentraded, than when he watches a movie. Imagination of main characters, places where storyline develops etc. is created by himself. Everything of that is served straight to us in movies. So it seems to me that because of that is reading a book more personal, than watching films, although I like films very much, mainly because of visual perceptions and effects.

I like non-fictional, sci-fi and fictional literature.
The book which impressed me recently is 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clark. The book has been written in 1968 and picturized in the same year by Stenley Kubrick.
The main characters of this book are Moon-Watcher, Dr. Heywood Floyd, David Bowman, Frank Pool and the HAL 9000 computer. The plot is initially placed in prehistory, where mysterious monolith causes evolution of rational skills of anthropoids. The plot is then transfered to year 2001, when Dr. Floyd discovers the monolith on the Moon. So this book actually treats about the voyage and the evolution of man kind.

Fjodor Michajlovič Dostojevski, Anatole France or Karel Čapek ranks among my favourite writers.

Because I can’t afford to buy many books, I go to library.
Fortunately, here in Frýdek-Místek the library has big selection of books, so it happens only occasionaly that I will not find a book, which I would want to read.
It’s good, that I can borrow a books, because that way I can find out, if is some book really so interesting, that it’s worth buying.

Naturally, I read mostly a literature in Czech language, but I enjoy reading of foreign literature too, concretely in English. So one will not only discover a story, but, at the same time, improves his foreign language too. That’s great.

But books doesn’t provide reading only. At time, they are a strictly aesthetical experience. They can have a nice cover, an arrangement or a nice illustration. And besides, new books have a really nice scent!
