помогите пожалуйста перевести в косвенную речь:)

You asked me why i like riading books,didn`t you? I should say books have been my best friends for mane years. You know, I`m the only child in my family. My parents were always busy with their work and I used to spend a lot of time playing with my toys. But from time to time, especially on holidays, they used to present me with wonderful new books: fairy teles, fantasy books, science ficition. Some of them were written ages ago. But I enjoyed them very much. And they are still interesting for people of my generation. That`s why I believe books are the most ancient media.
