I want to get lost in the sea of books

I feel that I have give up reading for long time. It use to be one of my happiness, one of the things that I enjoy most while I grown up. What happened? I kept ask myself for a while. Should I blame my lock of reading to so called reality? or So called the adulthood? The busy but meaningless life that I developed in years? Maybe it's because the computer, the internet, the TV, the movies, the modern life style. I miss the feeling of reading a good book and just get lost in the book. I miss the feeling of writing too. The feeling of touch a pen and actual write something on papers, it's a art, your own creation, your own handwriting, that is you, and only you.

I was suffering my favored BBS: powerapple. I saw someone post a book list which just caught my attention. I realized how long that I haven't been reading and how many good books that I might be missed. I have been buying books, but most of those books fall in self-help or some kind of tool of life. There isn't a good novel which I feel like to read. Until maybe a month ago, I bought At First Sight, a novel by Nicholas Sparaks. I bought it simply because he wrote Notebook too and it was the last book of that title. I felt maybe it was meant to be to buy that last book. Well...I have been reading it on and off. It just got some interesting to me. I am not big fan of happily love stories, so it was a little bit bored for me until someone wrong happened. Maybe I will like this book after I done with it, I think.

I think I should take more time to read than watch Japanese dramas. God knows how much I loved watch Japanese dramas. But somehow, I start to losing interest in them. The stories get old, and I always could guess the endings. I think I learned their pattern now after almost 10 years of watching.

I just had the feeling that how great that will be if my job is reading all the books and write reviews about them. I can read them anywhere, and anytime. It will be so great. I also still wanna be a writer, but I have not enough confident in my grammar and spelling. For now, I just want to read more books. Chinese, English, Japanese if I can.

Book is wonderful.
