My favorite book I've ever read is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. I am not a big fan of reading, if I have any free time I would much prefer to go outside with friends, play sports, watch youtube, paint nails, or basically do anything except for reading. My dad on the other side has a huge bookcase that takes up the whole living room wall full of books which I never even bothered to look at. In eighth grade, however, we were assigned a reading except we could choose what book to read and since I was too lazy to go to the library I went to my living room and looked at all my dad's books. All the books were so thick and I was just looking for the shortest book so that I could get it over with, but nothing was less than 300 pages, so I settled for Harry Potter since I heard a lot about it in elementary school when everyone else was reading the series. We were assigned a set number of pages per night and usually, I wouldn't even read that I would SparkNotes it, but with this book, I clearly remember I could not put it down. I kept wanting to read one more chapter and one more until I eventually read the entire book in a couple of hours. My parents were so surprised and so was I and by the end of the week, I had finished the entire series. That was the first series of such length that I ever read without force and arguing, therefore that is why it is my favorite book.
