lot of books. Some of them are interesting indeed, some are boring. Some of
them are easy to read, and some are difficult to understand. But I usually read all
of them up to the end. As I have already said my collection of books at home is
good, but I often borrow books from the library. We have a very good library at
our college. There are plenty of books there on various subjects and in different
languages. Not long ago I began reading French books in the original. I think
that is much more interesting than reading books in translation, and very useful.
But best of all I like historical novels, detective stories and adventure books.
That’s why I prefer books by Agatha Christie, Jack London, Ernest Hemingway,
James Hadley Chase and others.
Now I really think I’m finishing. Sorry for such a long letter. Remember
me to your parents.
Love,
Helen.
