It teaches us moral lessons, give us lots of information and trivia, and we can gain further insights about many things. We can get quotable quotes that will inspire us and stories that will entertain us as well... Even the deepest ideas could be ventured by our neophyte minds ones we touch edges of those writers' minds.


Here are some books worth burrowing your nose into:

1.Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. This is an epical story of the human spirit fighting against poverty, oppression, revolt and even love amidst war.

2.To Kill A Mocking Bird by Harper Lee. This is all about a lawyer who tried to defend a black person during the time when African Americans were considered as slaves.

3.The Little Prince by Antoine de St. Exupery. A children's book worth reading by adults too.

Wait! Let me share something about this book which was my favorite during my elementary to high school days. Whenever I have my vacant time, you can find me reading this book in the library or even at home just to lessen my boredom.

Have you heard some of Carolyn Keene's mystery stories? If yes, do you find them interesting?

Way back then, I was a fan of Nancy Drew. I've read many stories and detective escapades of hers. I was amazed about her sleuthing. The author, Miss Keene, has a very wide imagination because she was able to create this character and was able to come up with a very good craft and write such breathtaking plots.

Nancy Drew is an 18 year old gal. Her father is a lawyer. At a very young age she had already solved 56 cases. Whew! She is very astute and is really brave. She dares to do anything in order to help and reach out others. Bess and George are her very best friends. They had been very supportive to Nancy's endeavors. In every adventure, they're always there for Nancy.

Danger lurks in every situation but Nancy's unafraid to take any challenges. She had gone to many places just to unravel some intricate puzzles. Because she is smart, talented, and courages she was able to solve lots of mysterious cases. She became well-known to others because of her sleuthing, and was able to help her father in some of his cases.

Nancy Drew is a good example to all the girls out there. She ALSO inspired me to never give up in any situation no matter how difficult and tricky it might be.

So, why not follow Nancy Drew? She is not more of a pretty face but she has the guts, the brain, and the talents to use and be proud of.

Match wits with this super sleuth and be the next Best Detective!
