Oh, there are many books that I love, whether it be Harry Potter or The Lord of the Rings. Yeah, all kinds of fiction for teenagers or adults. If I have to pick one, I think I would pick one of my most favorite books, named Harry Potter. Harry Potter was written by J.K. Rowling, and this book allowed me to enter a magical world. The story is about a young wizard named Harry Potter, who never knew he was a wizard until he received a letter from Hogwarts, informing him that he had to study at Hogwarts School. I read it when I was in high school. This book was quite famous at that time. Moreover, the descriptions in the book brought me into the wizarding world. That is the reason why I am so impressed by this book. Because this book was the first book in English that I read, it inspired me to improve my English skills. Yeah, and that is the reason why I love the book.
