This year feels like a re-acquaintance of myself with little things I have probably neglected. One of them is reading. One of my blue-sky dreams as a child was to own a house with a library. I spent contless hours in bookstores getting lost in the aisles. Then, I tried building my collection as I grew up. Like my journals, I would hoard books. At some point, though, I just stopped. I don't know what happened, maybe life and living again, but I just stopped. From finishing 3-4 books in a month, I nearly finished a year without reading anything other than my e-mails and manuals.
That's probably why I joined a book club with the interest of being able to read at least one book a month. Another habit to revisit this year. This is "The Art of Racing in the Rain" by Garth Stein. I'd love to write more about it, but I guess I'll save that to when I actually finish it. I'm halfway through, which is a good thing. Having no laptop for three days allowed me to focus on reading it.
Shucks, I haven't gone to reading this book! Nakakalungkot pero na-distract ako ng ibang books.
ReplyDeleteSame here, I'd love to own a house with a library.
I'm almost done, sis. :D Makakatapos na ko ulit ng libro. I'm so proud of myself. Haha...
