Well, it was about books from a young age. I thought they were really unengaging and I didn’t want to search some meanings of them as there were a lot of pages on each of them and I was like why should I waste my time on that. But three years ago I read my first book and it was really fantastic that I read it for four days. I read it like day and night and there was time when I didn’t want to sleep because of the plot so I read that book whole night and by the way the book called your heart will be broken. And I was literally obsessed with that book and it made me realize that it changed my life like fully, it changed my personality and my mental thinking as well as there were a lot of emotions which were real. And then on that time when I thought books are really boring. It wasn’t the book which was boring. It was the way how I judged it. So recommending books to others was something which I thought I would never do. But I did it and I still do it every meeting and on every meeting when I met someone or it’s my family member. It’s my family member. I really want them to feel these emotions which I feel by myself. And it was a really good experience for me to become a book lover.

Well, it was about books from a young age. I thought they were really unengaging and I didn't want to search the meanings of them as there were a lot of pages in each one and I was like, why should I waste my time on that? But three years ago I read my first book and it was so fantastic that I read it for four days. I read it day and night and there was a time when I didn't want to sleep because of the plot, so I read that book the whole night. By the way, the book is called Your Heart Will Be Broken. And I was literally obsessed with that book and it made me realize that it changed my life fully; it changed my personality and my mental thinking as well, as there were a lot of emotions which were real. And at that time when I thought books were really boring, it wasn't the book which was boring, it was the way I judged it. So recommending books to others was something I thought I would never do.
