I like reading first book very much.
It is written by the
famous writer ---
Stephen King. “Wol-
ves of the Calla” is
the last one of the
five novels written
by Stephen King
--- “The Dark
Tower” series. It
is about a mysterious exploration story. I think it is a thriller and a very exciting book.
I would like to read the second book. It tells us it is Chinese that discovered America first. I like reading this book because I like history and this book is a true account of Chinese past.
My favorite book is
the third. It tells about
life and works of Mark
Twain. Mark Twain is
one of America’s
greatest writers. He
did various kinds
of jobs, traveled
many places, read a lot of books, had rich experiences and creative ability. He wrote many world-famous books. So I admire him very much and want to know all about him. I think this book is a biography.
