The Joy of Books

More reason to why I want a library and love books. :)

THEY DANCE! :D

A little like Belle

I want a library. :)

A place where I can just sit and read for hours at a time, surrounded by shelves and shelves of books lined up just waiting for me to open their covers and enter into their world full of mystery, suspense, love and tear-jerking, life-changing experiences that mould them into their characters and make them either so lovable or detestable.

A place filled with comfortable chairs with fluffy cushions, soft and furry rugs, a comfortable window sill with a beautiful garden view, soft music in the background, the smell of coffee in the air...a fireplace would be lovely.

But then again, this is Malaysia, so there's no need for one. Hee.

Being able to live out the stories with them, learn from their challenges, mistakes and lessons in life and rooting for them till the end...that is why I love reading. It opens a whole new world to you. It increases your power of imagination with every book and rewards your imagination when a movie based on the book is created.

People ask me how I can finish a book in a day. It's simple. I love reading. And I can't wait to turn the page and discover a new plot, a new scheme, a twist in the story, a new love blossoming, a clue to a crime, a new piece of the puzzle that makes a complete picture as the story continues.

I love my books.

Old or new, torn or still with perfect pages and covers, pages falling off and bookworm-eaten or ink-smelling...whatever condition they're in, they've been a part of my life and I love them. :)

So what're you waiting for?

Go grab a book now. :)

"There are those who say that life is like a book, with chapters for each event in your life and a limited number of pages on which you can spend your time. But I prefer to think that a book is like a life, particularly a good one, which is well worth staying up all night to finish."
