I like reading and I have read many books. One of the books I would like to share with you is he Old Man and the Sea,written by an American writer Ernest Hemingway. This book tells about a fisherman. He is brave enough to fight against fish and nature. What I like best about the book is that the fisherman never gives up. When meeting with difficulties, I still remember the well-known sentence from the book: Man is not made for defeat.
Another is a Masterpiece written by Confucius. There are lots of stories which tell us some philosophy of life. I like it very much, because I think it is not only useful but also meaningful. After I read it , it makes me much wiser than before.
