00:00Generally, I like to read classics like Sherlock Holmes and sometimes comics as well.

00:11I have been reading the Infinity War series for quite some time and right now I will buy

00:20the Wimpy Kid books that came out yesterday and also I read modern fiction as well a bit.

00:33I am 12 years old in 8th grade but I won't say that kids my age read a lot because some

00:41of my classmates, they don't know the classics such as Moby Dick and Tale of Two Cities.

00:51Nowadays, us kids, we are mostly engrossed in video games, movies and other such kind

01:00of things.

01:01So, not that much, I won't say, only about 30% I think of us are interested in reading.

01:12I really like the book fairs in India because they had very large book fairs but this is

01:17actually extremely large and I love section 6 and 7 kids books and comics and many other

01:25things and I am here because I like reading and I like going to book fairs, it creates

01:34a nice environment around me.
