Books and Me. A world all my own.
While waiting for a friend, I was able to consume a venti of Java Chip Frap and three chapters of Fallen. I set aside the book for later read because there were other books I wanted to read right away. Now, I normally don’t like being made to wait. But this time around, I didn’t [...]
Don’t you think this is a great reading spot? I do think so. There’s enough light coming from the window at the back of the oh-so-comfy looking couch. I am the type of reader who loves lying down while devouring a book. I also love corners where I can bawl my eyes out when I [...]
I wish I can say that I curled up on a couch the whole weekend and read a book or two. I can’t say that. I didn’t. I spent Saturday out of the house. Sunday, working. I kept seeing my new books at the side of my desk, waiting for me to open its pages. [...]

Don’t get [...]

When I start reading, I can’t stop myself. That’s how it has always been with me. If I feel that I can finish a book in one seating, then I do it. I don’t stop until I finish. I remember when I was still working in the corporate world. I used to go to the [...]
My sister and I always talk about what our lives would be five, ten years from now. I keep on telling her that I will have my own house and I will fill it with books. From floor to ceiling! That’s a dream of mine. To have a house that looks like a library. I [...]
I cleaned out the box I had beside my pc. It used to store much of my unread books. It got infested by little bugs that I couldn’t remove so instead of letting those bugs eat the pages of my unread books, I just took all my books in it and threw away the box. [...]
There is something sexy about a man reading. No, I am not talking about newspapers and comic books. I am talking about novels, non-fiction, biographies, and history. Books! Some find it geeky or nerdy to see a man with a book while commuting. I find it really endearing. I find that when I see a [...]
My sister was shaking her head when she saw my two new book purchases. Well, what can I say? I am a book hoarder! I keep on buying books even though I still have a pile of books that are unread. I just love seeing so many new books around me! Plus I read the [...]
Reading is like breathing to me. I do it to live. Upon waking up in the morning, I read the newspapers. We subscribe to two. I also read three news web sites. And then I will read my new emails. I will read my favorite blogs while working on my own. I read a lot [...]
