I actually enjoy reading books very much, and my favorites currently are fantasy books. One of my favorite trilogies that I finished a while ago is called Legend. I don't quite remember the name of the writer, but she's famous. Another genre that I love reading is crime. It really interests me with the thrill. It takes me out of this world and makes me forget all the stress I've been going through all day. So those are my two favorites.
