Process Type speech Example (Favorite Books)

— What did you like most about your favorite books?

— Well, I liked encyclopedias because, in general, I'm a very curious person; I love learning new things. That’s still true today: I often watch documentaries about archaeology or dinosaurs. I rarely read nowadays because I work with texts a lot at my job, but sometimes I read popular science books, for example, about how the brain works.

As for Wodehouse and Chekhov, I love them very much for their humor, for their lightness. They seem to be books about people, but at the same time, it's more like something adventurous, ironic, perhaps.

And, of course, Conan Doyle. That's a classic. I've always really liked Sherlock Holmes. Generally, I love detective stories. It's interesting how he built all those logical chains. Actually, even now, I love listening to true crime specifically from this point of view: how the investigation is conducted, how they get from one clue to another.

Belyaev is a sci-fi writer. I really liked his... well, I don't know, I generally love sci-fi and fantasy. Belyaev had such interesting, unusual ideas. I really liked the story "The Air Seller," for example, just loved it.

Later, when I was older, around eighteen, I really liked Goethe. We read Faust in the original, and I was simply amazed. Such beautiful language! Although it was very difficult because it's archaic German. I had to look up many words in the dictionary, but it's written so beautifully. And the concept itself is very interesting; there are such deep philosophical thoughts there.

And I also really like Shakespeare, especially Macbeth, I've reread it many times. The plots aren't exactly complex, but still, there is some magic, the three witches, and prophecies of fate. It's like a drama, but it doesn't feel heavy. And I really like Shakespeare for how beautifully he writes.
