书，在我的人生中，占据了很大的比例，书，是我生活中缺一不可的，读书，让我触摸到了书的乐趣，也闻到了书的香味。
有两本书让我潸然泪下——
《童年》这部作品出与俄国作家高尔基的笔下。讲述的是高尔基幼年丧父、母亲改嫁，他跟随脾气暴躁的、日渐破落的小染坊主外公外婆生活的童年时光。此书通过一个儿童无邪的眼光，向读者生动地展示了19世纪中叶俄罗斯社会底层人物的生活，描绘了许许多多社会小市民丑陋和愚昧的生活风貌以及当时俄国的宗教、丧葬等民风民俗。高尔基的这些回忆，有助于我们了解沙皇俄国那个时代的风貌，了解一代文学大师高尔基童年时的社会环境。反映了小市民阶层的庸俗自私和空虚无聊，揭露了沙俄专制的黑暗与罪恶，被视为俄苏自传体小说的里程碑和批判现实主义文学的伟大成就。 读着读着，我的眼里闪着泪花。“‘跪下！叫你不听话，我今天非要打你不可……’外公手里拿着一根柳条，我怕极了……”“轰——”这天，我在家里读着《童年》，正读到这一段，突然窗外乌云密布，电闪雷鸣，狂风大作。“我被打得下不了床，全身都疼，昏了过去……”这时，窗外风雨交加，一棵1米多高的树苗被狂风吹倒……
“童年是什么？是往昔盛开过的鲜花？是天角飘逝的云霞？是昨日复昨日的重叠与堆砌？是留在岁月行迹中的眷恋和忧伤？……”童年，是个美妙又神奇的东西，再严肃的恩一提起他快乐的童年，心里也应该有一番甜味。可是高尔基在一种令人窒息的环境下，度过自己的童年。
20世纪，美国有一位著名的女性——海伦·凯勒。她两岁时，因为生病，就听不到声音，看不到东西，也不能说话。从小就被家里宠坏了，谁都要随着她来，陌生人碰不得她，因此，她成为一个小暴君。直到她7岁那年，一个叫安妮的20岁姑娘来到海伦的生活中。经过安妮对海伦20多年的教育和培养。26岁的海伦已是一个亭亭玉立的少女，才华横溢的大作家，也是一个演讲者（16岁时，已经回说话），不在是当年的小野兽。海轮是个奇迹，一生创作了很多作品。安妮没有白费心机，教育出一个世纪不朽的奇葩——海轮·凯乐。
“黑暗将使人更加珍惜光明，寂寞将使人更加喜爱声音。”“爱是摸不到的，但能感到她带来的甜蜜。”于是，这本海轮·凯乐自传——《假如给我三天光明》，便永远珍藏在我心中，它使我时不时的激动而流泪。海轮·凯乐给我们这些没有那么多困难需要克服的人们，上了永远不能遗忘的一课。
书，就象一位高尚的人，如你天天与它交谈，那么你的脑子中积累越来越多的词汇。凯勒说过一句名言，一本书就像艘船，带领我们从狭隘的地方，驶向生活的无限广阔的海洋。对此，我也有同感。
书，是精神的粮食。
