Post by Coco Bajaj »

The first book I read here was totally captivating and mind hacking. I really love it. "All Body Bags and No Knickers."

My first book was the famous book by Dale Carnegie about "How to Win and Influence People." It's a book that opened my paradigm and changed the way I lived my life. Since then, I've also started to enjoy reading in English. It's all because of the Libgen website. It helped me so much.

It’s always a special feeling when a book makes such an impact on you, especially as your first. My first book was Charlotte's Web by E.B. White. I remember being completely absorbed in the story of Charlotte the spider and Wilbur the pig. The experience was magical and left a lasting impression on me. I felt a mix of joy and sadness when I finished it, similar to what you described. It was like saying goodbye to dear friends.

Improving my English was the aim, so I picked Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone as I like magical stories. My experience: I was not expecting to be so taken by the power of imagination of not only the author but the books in themselves, and now years later, books have become essential for my living! :D
