My Newest Reading Adventure

Just like writing, I have a love affair with reading. For me, spending an hour or so inside a bookstore is one relaxing activity. Browsing through the piles and hundreds of books in front of me and end up choosing the right book is one big adventure for me!

I am particularly happy that bookstores have always tried to attract buyers by offering sales or discounts. Here in Sydney, I was so happy when I got to purchase a book, a DVD and a instructional set for my son, for only $5 each!

The last book that I finished reading was "Have A Little Faith" by Mitch Albom. I am a fan of Mitch Albom, I think I am close to completing collecting all of his books. I was glad that he went back to writing non-fiction this time after having a couple of books after the hit Tuesdays with Morrie.I deliberately did not finish the book in one sitting. I knew that while I was reading chapter by chapter, I would come across a lot of things that I could reflect upon. And true enough it almost took me four months to finish reading it. But I am happy. Because he didn't disappoint me.

There were a lot of things that you can ponder on the life of the two main characters. I even found myself crying when it came to the part where he had to deliver his eulogy already. Don't worry, I won't spoil it for you. But I would recommend the book to anyone.

Maybe in my next blog, I can share with you some of the points that made an impact on me. As for now, I have started with another reading adventure, this time, it deals with happiness.

As soon as I'm done with it, you will definitely hear from me.
