I Love Reading
📖 Especially detective stories 📖
Reading is typically an individual activity, done silently, although on
occasion a person reads out loud for other listeners; or reads aloud for
one's own use, for better comprehension. Before the reintroduction of
separated text (spaces between words) in the late Middle Ages, the
ability to read silently was considered rather remarkable. Major
predictors of an individual's ability to read both alphabetic and
non-alphabetic scripts are oral language skills, phonological awareness,
rapid automatized naming and verbal IQ. As a leisure activity, children
and adults read because it is enjoyable and interesting.
Detective fiction is a subgenre of crime fiction and mystery fiction in
which an investigator or a detective—whether professional, amateur or
retired—investigates a crime, often murder. The detective genre began
around the same time as speculative fiction and other genre fiction in
the mid-nineteenth century and has remained extremely popular,
particularly in novels.Some of the most famous heroes of detective
fiction include C. Auguste Dupin, Sherlock Holmes, and Hercule Poirot.
Juvenile stories featuring The Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and The Boxcar
Children have also remained in print for several decades.
