[2024·辽宁省六校协作体高三上学期期中]I was born a bookworm. I can't remember a time when I didn't read: It was almost like breathing to me. My fictional worlds took me to all the places I needed to go and I experienced everything indirectly.
My father was in the military service when I was a child, so we moved every two years, but we insisted on going to bookshops wherever we lived. He would take me to the nearest bookshop every Saturday morning and wait patiently while I browsed (随便看看)—after all, the choosing of a new book is something that cannot be rushed. And so started my lifelong love affair with bookshops. One day I was thinking up the setting for How to FindLove in a tiny bookshop when a feeling of calm, contentment,and excitement came over me. It was a feeling of perfect happiness. That was my light bulb moment: My book would be set in a bookshop, and I could explore what books meant to each of my characters and how they had shaped their lives.
The book isn't just about discovering romantic love. It's about finding the love of books:something that can sustain you throughout your life, and provide escape, entertainment, education,comfort and wonder. And, as I learned from my own father, it's a love you can share with everyone. There is nothing more satisfying than sharing something you have read with someone else, knowing they will love it as much as you do.
But if we are to keep bookshops alive, we need to use them,and to encourage the next generation to make them a part of their life and view bookshops as a treat, a pleasure, an adventure,a gateway, so they become something we can't live without. Thus my challenge to you, fellow readers, is to go to your local bookshops as often as possible and come out with something that might change your life.
