I used to be very productive. I could do many things per year. But as age catches up on me, I started to slow down slightly, and started to get lazier. But my passion for books never did die, and therefore, every now and then, I would pick up a few good books and indulge myself with the pleasures of reading and let myself drift away into the world where a lot of things is beyond my imaginations.
I used to be able to read 10 full length novels of various genre per day when I was younger, but these days, I could only read a maximum of 5 or 6 per day… and I only hit the number 10-12 per month, and only a maximum of 100 books per year since 2004.
I used to have the time to read more, but not anymore. I wish… sometimes,Ii could have more time to myself… to do things that makes myself feel good. But… it seems that even that is too much to ask now, because everyone around me is so demanding. If I could at least have 2-3 hours of complete silence a day, I believe, I would be on seventh heaven.
I ought to count my blessings, no? Thank God for small mercies. At least I still can read at least 6 books per day if I feel like doing some reading marathon. Some people don’t even have such privileges.
Cleffairy: How many books do you read per year? And of what genre?
hmmm i am very productive this year around 14 i think
Not bad la… I know people who never even read a book for the whole damn year.
ohhh and genre: book-i-shud-ve-read-wen-i-was-younger-but-didnt :))
Sexy genre? LMAO….
Errm… I think this year I’m very productive… average 2 books per day. Books that I bought for Lynn. 😛

Eyewwwww….I hate cats…and dogs too! Books? Zzzzzzzz….!!! Well, if age is catching up with you and you’re slowing down, then I’m an ancient relic…a fossil, good excuse not to read anymore. Hahahahaha!!!!

Habits do change, more so esp when we have so many other new activities piling up. I still hv my bedtime reading, but more on spirituality.

Yes, true… habit changes with time. I read myself to sleep too… but usually those chic lit and easy read.
wow i can’t read that fast….took 2 days to finish up a full-length novel…i am quite a restless person…can’t stand doing something non-stop for such long period..lol
Hahahaha… you’re hyper, I guess. I can read on and on, as long as nobody disturbs me.
I start to pick up novels again for this year. It start to be addictive to keep on reading. Thanks for yr ebooks, i got hooked. Till now, i think i had 7 and half books, (reading 8th book but merely half book now). Too old to keep up the pace. Try to read an chapter each day before i slept.
LOL… you mean the Cecelia Ahern’s books?
I thought i was looney…mana tau you are worse than me
Now you baru tahu. Hahahahaha… wokay… I finish makan buku liao. Just sent you my want to read list.

Alamak… read while pangsai? I can never do that, cuz I need to concentrate on ‘business’…cannot concentrate on business if bring books inside the toilet. LOL…

Yea, can read alot when I really got mood for it. But these days really slow down alot. Not like last time anymore. 🙁
