Books and me
I have always loved to read. In fact, reading is like an addiction for me. Some people like to smoke, I like to read. I keep a handy stack of books by my bedside and have a habit of reading before I sleep most nights. My bookshelf is within handy reach of my bed so I can always pick and choose my books conveniently. However, these days, I have been so into watching dvds and online videos that I have not read much. I thought I will not really miss reading but one morning last week, I woke up craving for a book. It is weird, I know, but it felt like my body was suffering from reading withdrawal symptoms, I needed to read a book.
I did not crave any book from the bookshelf but wanted to read a new book, one which I have never read before. Haha. However, I had little chance to visit the library or the bookstore as there were so many other things I had to get done. Today, I walked into a secondhand bookstore near the place I had dinner. A poor choice to Borders or Kinokuniya but desperate times calls for desperate measures. I selected one novel. Tonight, the laptop shall take a well-deserved break and I shall make my escape into the literary world instead.......
