Polished transcript:

Male Female

Not really. When I was shy, I mostly read comic books, fairy tales, and adventure stories because they were simple, colorful, and captured my imagination. However, as I have grown older, my taste in books has evolved quite a bit. Nowadays, I am more interested in non-fiction, especially books related to physical self-development and history. I think it's a natural transition; as we mature, we start looking for deeper meaning, practical knowledge, or stories that reflect real-life situations. That being said, I still occasionally revisit children's books for nostalgia or when reading to younger family members, and they always bring back memories.
