This may sound cliche, again, it is proven true that the adult working world sure hails less time for mere meow like me to indulge in past time hobby / activities I used to love. It is always;
- I dont have the time to read
- I am too tired to even keep my eyes open
- I have tons of much urgent things to do eg; laundry, clean my room...
- I am not in the mood for reading - prefers to hang around shopping for more stuff
- I am just too distracted by the Internet
- I simply did not pick up the book =P
So you see, the list of reasons can go on and on, not necessarily real / good reasons, but excuses that can sound real enough to keep one from not doing something they ought to do * wink wink *
I have made a resolution to force myself to pick up a book and actualy read - that would jump start my old habit. And so far, I think I have done okay * hehehe *
Since March 2010, I managed to read the following, PLUS one e-book, and 5 of my favorite romance books * heeheehee * not too much of my previous good ol days record, but its a progress - me thinks * =P *
That of course, on top of the numerous documents to read at work...
Okay - this may sound kiddo, but I simply lurve this series of books. You all may already been reminded numerous times of how this scaredy meow is afraid of hantu - this is one book I find myself constantly drawn to buy each time a new series is out. At times, its quality time spent with my self snuggled under the blanket with my plushies, spooking myself away with the horror bits * =P *
This book was originally meant to be a gift, but on 2nd thoughts, its not so good "yee tao" as someone's wedding gift * =) *
However, this turn out to be a very good book. It draws very vivid details of how ironic real life relationships are. Most of them are funny, and many eye-opening insights into married life (as well as what goes in married men's head). A good real for couples - I personally think it serves as a gentle reminder on the lil things / behaviours in a relationship we take for granted which builds up and damages it. Also, it shows how ugly human behaviour can be at the change of heart for newer, younger things as well as how many actions are driven by lust / sex...
I personally like the creative ways of writing by the author...
I simply lurve the book Marley and Me by John Grogan - imagine my non-existent hesitance to grab this book bearing his name. Its a compilation of the articles he actually wrote for the paper at work. Again, simple creative style of writing which never fails to captivate and mesmerise this meow
This, my friend, is a rather heavy book to read - yes, I am not kidding. With its thickness in size top with SMALL prints, I suppose this can count as 2 books in one? * =P *
And the topic as well la - about the revolutionary times in China those days as well as the struggles. Yes, I do read intellectual books also OK and not romance books only!!! This type of old China history, culture, myths, legend books is my fav genre. Surprise surprise!
One of the first thing which sealed my purchase was that the writer/victim was an ex-staff of the current syarikat kerang I worked with * wink wink * hahaha * but as it related like 85% on history, it do gets kind of dry to read at times, but nonetheless enjoyable if you like these kinda genre. Hard to imagine if we still have to live in those Heart wrenching, suffering days...
So there you go - I am determine to continue the pace I have started, to move towards the 30 books (or more?) I have sitting in the book rack - brand new * wink wink *
Books are good...
Books are good...
Books are good...
Books are good...
Books are good...
