Reading ...
Once upon a time, I read lots of books. I'd read for hours and hours, yet I wouldn't actually get bored. Not that I get bored now or something..It's just that I no longer give time to reading anymore.
There was a while when I literally considered books to be my best friends. I'd rather read than talk to my classmates when we had a free period at school, the time where everyone would talk, gossip, brag and all kinds of things, except for me. Believe me : No regrets! I enjoyed every minute I spent reading every single word.
There was a pleasure in spending all that time reading. I felt like i was feeding my soul so much that after finishing a book I feel so full, the good kind of full not the one which after eating you feel lazy and can't move... get the picture? :P
Even when we used to go to UAE [ well, we used to go every weekend I kind'f got bored of shopping] so I would go to the library in the mall and spend hours reading, not feeling the time ticking. Here also [ in Oman ] I used to go to borders whenever the family decided to go to 'city center' and would sit there not minding how long it was.
I actually have so many books and magazines that I've collected ever since I was 9 ? Mom always threatens me to throw them away but I go like ' NOOOOO ITS MY PROPERTY ITS MY TREASURE I SPENT A FORTUNE ON THOSE... MY BABIES! ' God knows how many 'majid' magazines I collected through all those years. Didnt see that coming? well yeah I always went to the shop [mal 7ara] Tuesday night and bought the magazine because waiting till Wednesday which was the official day was too mainstream haha! That on one side, and my novels... they're everywhere around the house.. no wait mom put them in the storage room.
I haven't really read a proper book since two years now? Recently as I came back for vacation, I went to bareeq Al-shatti mall where there is a section for 2nd hand books\novels and bought me 2 novels. I'm still reading the first novel and didnt finish half of it yet, yes.. no time! But I'm planning to take a few with me back to the Netherlands and seriously start reading since I spend time on train [which might not be the case if I moved] but yeah, it's a good way to spend time, I'm trying to be a less of a gamer but I think the habit of gaming would be back once i go there :P !!
I'll create my own little library at my house there, promise :P !
Time to feed my soul again and get creative.. you know that effect you get after reading so many books.
If you fellows have any book suggestions, please do mention the names I'd like to read different things and see your opinions.
