I really want to start reading .. I feel I need to improve my knowledge in anyway .. I need to read things beside my academic books .. but i have no choices

im 21 years old and I need suggestions of books or novels u guys think i would like :P 2 years ago

I have just realised that I have not read a book for at least 5 years! Before this I would read at least 2-3 novels a month and sometimes even two at once.
For some reason I simply do not allow myself this pleasure anymore, probably because there is always a distraction or something else that needs doing. Each New Year I resolve to read a book when travelling to work by train but end up working on my laptop in the train instead. I have bought many novels over the past years so do not have any excuse for not getting started. I suppose I just need to pick one off the shelf and get on with it!

By the way, the last book I read was ’ The Life of Pi’ by Yann Martel. It was absolutely fabulous! Read a review to see if it appeals to you. 2 years ago

I’m not big on english but i like to read. I want to start reading again. I believe that it would exspand my vocabulary and free my mind. Novels are my favoret they let my drift away from reality and be in someone elses shoes for a chapter or two. 4 years ago

I used to be a heavy reader. I remember that it was like falling in love; I used to wait all day long to find ten minutes before falling asleep or the coffee break to read a couple more pages, a few more words. It’s been more than a year since the last time it happened to me.

I realy miss that. Sad. Isn’t it? 4 years ago

For me it was the Harry Potter book. I could not understand what all the fuss was about. Wow! What writting imagnation. I then thought other books might be good too. I like Oprah so, I thought she probably has good taste in books. I now am reading her Book Club List and other books. 4 years ago

And I’ve listened to three audiobooks too! But that’s not the kind of “reading” that’s the most nourishing and important to me. It’s just the cherry on top.

Marking this goal complete. Ahh, it feels so good to be reading again! And it’s great to always have a book to grab when I’m, say, going to pick someone up at the airport. 5 years ago

Sure, it was a short one: less than 200 pages. But it’s the first book I have read in a long time. However, I won’t mark this as complete until I have demonstrated that the habit will continue.

Actually I think this is one of my favorite moments of reading life: after I have finished one book, but before I have chosen what to read next. Ahh, the possibilities are endless!

Usually it’s really a little; a few pages and I’m konked out. It’s going to take a long time to finish a book this way! 5 years ago
