Books have been a big part of my life since childhood. I remember the very first "serious" book I read was "Jane Eyre" written by Charlotte Brontë. It was such an eye-opening experience for me. It felt as if with every page, I was creating a new world in my imagination.

Since then I've read quite a lot. Books helped me mature at a very young age - sure, it has its ups and downs as sometimes(most of the time) I preferred to miss fun times just to read one more page of my favorite novel. However, they opened up a whole new world to me.
