Tomas Cerny
What he thinks about reading:
Tomas says: "I think reading is very important for everyone. You develop your mind, your language skills and imagination. It gives you access to knowledge humans have gathered in thousands of years. It opens new opportunities in your life. I realise that there is also TV and other resources, but compared to them, reading is a more active process and you remember more. For me, reading is much better and it can be great fun too. I truly enjoy it!."
Children's book choice:
The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho
Tomas says: "I realize this is not entirely a children’s book. However, my children books were from the Czech Republic and are unknown over here. The Alchemist is a fairy tale story and would be enjoyable and inspiring for many teenagers. The book reminds us that we should follow our dreams."
Adults' book choice:
Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman
Tomas says: "This book was written by a former top athlete and deals with many issues I face in sport and everyday life."
