''The literary phenomenon of the decade.'' Guardian ''The book that defined a generation.'' Stylist Connell and Marianne grow up in the same small town in the west of Ireland, but the similarities end there. In school, Connell is popular and well-liked, while Marianne is a loner. But when the two strike up a conversation – awkward but electrifying – something life-changing begins. Normal People is a story of mutual fascination, friendship and love. It takes us from that first conversation to the years beyond, in the company of two people who try to stay apart but find they can’t. **** Have you ever thought about how fascinating the world is, wide open through the pages of a book? Reading is not just a routine activity, but also an unlimited adventure into imagination and knowledge. Reading sharpens the mind, broadens horizons, and enriches vocabulary. It is a gateway to a limitless world beyond us. Set aside a specific time for reading each day. From reading before bed to finding time in the morning, reading habits can be formed with consistency. Choose books based on your interests and literacy level. Start with books that match your desires and reading ability. Find a quiet and comfortable place to read. Adequate lighting, a comfortable chair, and a bit of background music can create a better reading experience. Make notes or keep a journal about the books you've read. Write down your thoughts, impressions, and lessons you’ve gained.
