Before reading

Okay. So this is my first comment in my blog and reading journal for "Slam". A very good idea, to do this in the internet, especially with a cup of self-made hot chocolate beside me. :)
But enough of that. Let´s begin!

First question: How do you feel about reading this book?
I´m quite happy about it. I like reading books, whether they are in German or English, so I hope, it will be great fun.

What are your expectations in general?
I think, the book will be understandable, even if I don´t know every single word, and also very interesting. After reading it, I hope, that I´m going to be better in writing longer texts in English.

What other novels have you read in English?
Uff. That´s a hard question. I´ve read many books in English. The most important ones are surely the Harry Potter books, C. S. Lewis´ Narnia books, and also "Breaking Dawn" from Stephenie Meyer, as well as Jane Austen´s "Pride and Prejudice". And (I nearly forgot it) "Of Mice and Men" from John Steinbeck, which we have read last year in English (Some of you will remember ... ^^)

What do you think about studying texts in classrooms?
I don´t really like it, because reading is so much better when you sit on a comfortable chair, with something to drink or to eat and maybe a little bit music in the background, than in a loud, uncomfortable classroom. But at least it´s better than grammar stuff. :)

Well, so this was it, my first comment to "Slam" or rather to reading books in general. See you all on Thursday!
