For the Love of Reading......

Reading has been a passion from time immemorial. Started with the light Archie comics and Sweet Valley series. Went onto the Enid Blyton's. Took a leap to the Danielle Steele's and Sidney Sheldon's. And now find solace in the Mills & Boons when the men in reality let me down! Books have always been my companion, for the better or for worse. Thankfully,I have been able to connect with the kind of books i read. I realised a little later in life that i enjoy reading books that are on the lighter side and not they heavy ones that keep my thinking cells active for what seems an era! An example of that would be the 2006 recipient of the  Man booker prize"The Inheritance of Loss" by Kiran Desai.Well the Booker prize was what convinced me to put that on my Birthday wish list. But 3 pages into the book and i realised, if i had to understand the book then i would definitely need an Oxford's or Webster's dictionary by my side. MORAL:" Never judge the book and your capability of understanding it by the accolades it receives". For me a book is a medium by which i relax, unwind. I can discuss a book alright, but not be judgmental. I have always been in shock when somebody has confessed to me that they do not enjoy reading. Never been able to understand HOW that could ever be. But as i grew older, I realised it is just how some people are and the sooner i accept it, the better. I am also aware that some of you reading this right now are not voracious readers, but well, it is a start. Today, you might be reading this for the sake of reading. But someday, just someday, you will do it for the love of reading!
