I actually have a largish library of books and I use them for reference purposes – my TV is large but not that large. I enjoy reading as what one learns is amazing. Books can help your personal growth and if the topics are those that you are interested in the outcome can be quite inspirational – a good portion of my time is spent reading and I challenge anyway to say that reading is not a worthwhile pastime.
Get rid of your TV or at least make it a small one but have a LARGE library.

How I did it: Start at the first page and follow through to THE END. It simply is a case of making time available and then keep on doing it until the last word has been read. Quite simple really but it does require commitment Read how I did it…
How I did it: It was a snow day and the power went out so there was very little to do other than read a book. It took so long for the power to come back on that I finished reading the entire book. Read how I did it…
SuperBucket tired, lol :P
How I did it: Even though it was for a class, I still learned a lot and the book (Ishmael by Daniel Quinn) changed my entire perspective on life. I highly suggest it. Read how I did it…

I love reading and I read pretty fast but when its homework, you don’t want to read it. Fortunately all the books that the teacher made me read are all books that I found great.
Brave New World was a good one, The Boy in Striped Pyjamas (which is now a movie) and the current one is Oryx and Crake. All three of them are great but my favourite is The Boy in Striped Pyjamas and Oryx and Crake. Awesome books that I really recommend.

kapayapaan feeling light-hearted
With the advent of the internet, it’s so easy to cruise through articles and sites. I want to curl up with a book, sit down and savor the words and the story. It is a matter of finding time in the day as well…last thing at night, I end up falling a sleep as soon as I read a few pages! Maybe I can get better lighting in my apartment and good seating area dedicated to reading. AND also let go of having to check email every 5 minutes!
