Hey, just saw that they made a Nancy Drew film. University years are a bit different in terms of reading. You always seem to have things to do and reading novels for pleasure of doing it is a bit of a waste of time when you have all those other books and things to do but it sometimes gets your head off the work to read.

My dad used to bring books from public libraries for me when I was a kid. My elder sister was already addicted to reading by that time and my parents wanted to make sure that I was following her track. I quickly started liking Nancy Drew’s and Christopher Pike’s. In my teens I started reading Agatha Christie’s. Now I read little or virtually no fiction novel. I’m mostly into textbooks and I hope that I manage to catch up on some reading during the December holidays.

Well I’m a huge consumer of web design publications but I would really go bust if I bought each book I wanted to read. Your way of reading makes me smile because I knew a girl who wanted to write her Masters dissertation on “Scientific students and ‘la grange littérature’”. Her basis was that science students “don’t read” or “read only science fiction books”. First thing I asked her was : “define ‘la grande littérature”… fail!

Yeah dude, those were the days. As I said, many of us were race horses and had to work our brains inside out. These were the days when you had 10-12 hour days and spent 8 hours at a private tuition during week ends to study.

True enough, books let you get your imagination wandering. This is how you cultivate your own inspiration and get your own style. I even believe that books may have an influence on how your personality is built.

Book reading is a nice hobby. But it is very important in selecting books

Despite being from a different region and religion, me too was bred to read during my childhood. I was coerced to read 2 books a week. However, my parents were more lenient when I was teen and I am grateful, cause I learned self-discipline. (A child cannot be expected to be self-disciplined, but a teen can)

My reading pattern then switched from books to magazines like National Geographic, Time, Newsweek … I kept the habit. I do not read any novel now. The only books I read are physics book (and I often read and re-read these books over and over again ). However, I am subscribed to a lot of magazine feeds [rss FTW], my favourite one being NewScientist now

Conclusion: still a reader, but different reading pattern

Oh! Read in the recess time?

I used to “date” during primary school breaks by being the goal keeper of our class team. The defense was so cool that they never let the ball reached me (coz if it reach…it would be a definite GOAL for the opposing class) so I was like eating gato piment, pistass and flirting (the junior version) with the girls of my class.

And when there were not football match…well I used to play “Police Voleur”… How cool it was to be the thief and the girls being the cops lol

Ps: I was always in jail (So I can chat and flirt (junior version again) while the rest were running.

well i love to read…since kid have been reading novel from the christpher pike to mills and boons (during teens period ) and now to dan brown books…for me books are kinda a sort of evasion where you can reflect yourself and evade yourself for some time from reality and dream a bit and also travel and learn new things about foreign culture and lands etc…it suits all purposes…cheers
