No,,, I have like 200 books at my house!!! Most being korean but still… I have a lot and I don’t think I can imagine a life without books… They put me to sleep~
HAHA.
I think I’d miss a load of books but… I would miss The Da Vinci Code by Dan something… it gave me a lot of enthusiasm for a while at least, and I enjoyed life for the time being of reading it.
1. The Da Vinci Code: I explained up there~
2. Six Months to Live: Lurlene McDaniel – I’d miss it b/c it’s a really nice and sad story… I guess if I gave a book like this to a community like Jonas’s, it would help them~ B/c it’s FILLLLLEEEEDDDD with emotions~
3. I couldn’t make up my mind… but here they are~ A Walk To Remember and Artemis Fowl.
=3= Artemis Fowl and The Da Vinci Code are adventurous stories,,, The Da Vinci Code was challenging to read but it was the BBBEEESSSTTT book I’ve read so far and Artemis Fowl is childish but it’s really entertaining.
^3^ A Walk To Remember and Six Months to Live are sad and in the mood of sort of a romance… It’s emotional and makes you sniffle and sob~ I loved it.
I guess I spilled my taste of books… oopsy!
MUAHAHAHAHA!
Well then, that was our hwk… right?????

Huh……. a world without books, imagine that! I don’t think anyone can survive without this resource we need so much. Maybe, if you don’t like to read, you will think there won’t be any effect on yourself, but once you experience it, life itself wouldn’t be in its right form. Suffering, even worse than those caused by wars, fear, loneliness… will come to this world. I can feel the agony… the pain in these people. I can’t imagine a world without books. Books are fun, they cover up the time when you have nothing to do.
I myself have a lot of books that I like to read. I especially like books that are filled with adventure and fantasy… like the Harry Potter series. I have read every single book in that set of books. It is very exciting and addicting; you want to keep on reading them. Eragon and Eldest, the first two books of the Inheritance Trilogy, also have those qualities. I would really miss them if there are no books in this world!

I think that a life without books are horrible because life needs books for references. Books are like good for everyone, even for those who don’t like to read books. I think that if you try to read one, you’ll know the importance of books. My favorite books are fantasy, like harry potter. I think that books like those help our imaginations grow a lot more than like television. I also think that scary books are great , because it leaves you hanging for information and you just keep wanting to read.
I know that books are important because every famous person in school, doesn’t get into a good college without books. Books are the way to power!
I also like books because you can actually do something while you have some time left or free time. They also make me sleep easily, but they also make me smartere.
Books Rock!!!!!

If the world didn’t have any books, it wouldn’t be easy to remember the history.
It is like you have to remember every single thing that has happened in the world.
How can you keep track of it! It will be boring too. There is not enjoyment in life. Then in the book club won’t even exist! I NEVER want that to happen! I like books …even though I am not good at remembering what I read; I still want to ENJOY THEM!!! If there was a book club in the community, we would be talking about those 3 reference books! That will be SUPER boring!
The books I would miss the most are:
-Artemis Fowl!
-Harry Potter
-Walk to Remember
I would miss them because these books are really fun for me! If these books weren’t here, I would be staring at a ceiling with nothing to do! I really like Artemis Fowl and Harry Potter because there is adventure and magic! I really like Fantasy Stories! I like Walk to Remember because it was sad and the author really did put his feelings in the book.
…I wrote a lot…Sorry!

I really can’t imagine a world withought books because…it’s fun reading books even though your eyes get like super tired after reading the book. I think a life withough books would be really boring and I wouldn’t enjoy the life. My favorite books are
-Eragon
-Eldest
-Searching For Dragons
-The Temple of the Dragon Slayer
and more…
I would miss these books because I like reading about dragons and magic and things that are fantasyish. I like to read fantasy books and I really get caught in the book when I’m reading the middle part because the middle part is where the interesting part begins. It would be really sad without books.

A world without books…. what would life be??? I couldn’t do anything without books, books make me think that I’m in the place that its happening. I feel like I’m in part of the story. I get lost in them, until my sister or my mom yells at me to do some chores. Every night, i read the Black Stallion Returns , And I’m in the part when Alec, Henry, and Mr. Volcence have been stranded in a desert and have just killed their camel for food. Also the water in the camel’s water. I have other books and the authors are sooooo cool!!!! Like Avi, Mary pope osborne, Walter Farley, Katherine Pattersin, and WAY more. Well, thats it for now.Bye!!!!!

Question 2:
I would be horrified and lost with out fantasy books I love fantasy books. HE HE!! My three favorite books are 1. Avalon and I would mss this book alot because when I was little this was my favorite book it has very goood memories that I have experienced with it , bad ones too.
2. Princess Frog I would miss this book because the story has a really good twist to it, It really made me think beond my imagination.
3. the Austear Academy, this is because I love the way the author write, it is like really real as if he were talking to you. I also like this book because you never no what is going to happen next in 1 second they are running so many laps, then they are studying for a super long test, what next.

A world without books? Wouldn’t that be dull. A world without ooks is a world without imagination and no one would invent anything. I don’t really have any favorite books, I like most of them I read. Without books I can’t remember anything!

A world without books means no ENTERTAINMENT for me!!! YOu see I”m not allowed to watch TV cause my eyes are bad enough. I’m not allowed to do anything but read!!!
MY favorite books are:
1. Forest Wife- its a really nice book about “outlaws” in the forests of England
I think about the 1500s. It’s a true version of Robin HOod.
2. The Secret Garden- also a nice book about a girl name Mary.
And I don’t have a third one because those two books are the ones I truly like.

I just thought of another book. It’s GONE WITH THE WIND.
Now most people havent read the book because it is so lllooonnnggg!!!!!!!!!
Anyways it’s about a girl/adult named Scarlett. Every boy fell in love with her, but the boy she loved was married to a girl she hated so to hurt that girl’s family, she married a man called Charles who was the man of that family and she thought it’ll hurt India who could only get Charles to like her, and Asher, the guy she loved. Later on, she gives birth to Wade her and Charles’ son. But then, Charles died in war (this was during the American Civil War) so she married a rich guy who’s last name was Kennedy. They produced a girl(don’t remember the name) but then the father died so she remarried but this was a man she truly loved. However, they divorced because the guy lost his love for Scarlett. During that time that they were together, they had a girl who died in a horse accident which made the guy grieve more. And Scarlett was pregnant durring that time.

Well, I got my bike when I was about 5 and they get theirs and age 9 so… that would be a big difference. I also got clothes with pockets when I was really young. I was taught to ride a bike at *7. I got m hair got short at 7-present. I also have alot of books in my house, not just three. That would be a boring life, to not have books.
Books I couldn’t live without:
1. A series of Unfortunate Events. I love this series. They are sad, upseting, mysterious (I never no what is going to happen, it’s not one of those obvious endings books), intriquing, and interesting. These all add up to good books.
2. House of the Scorpians. I would say this book gives practically the same emotions/feelings as the Series of Unfortunate Events books.
3. The Eye, the Ear, and the Arm. This is also a good book that I have read. It is very interesting and ittought me new things by reading it. It is also a mysterious book, I have no idea what is going to happen.
