讀書

since i was a kid, i was never really much of a writer, let a long a reader. i never had a moment in my adolescent life, that i can remember, that there was a time when i really like to read books. back then, it was kind of hard for my parent to make me study and read a book. i always wanted to play. play anything; anything but play with books. but then after about high school, i started to pick up some books, especially during the time when i started to learn different languages. until recently, it would take me a long, long, long, long....long time to finish reading any book. sometimes, i even consider myself a slow reader; altho, there were times i actually found somebody that read slower than me.
my brother always suggested many different kind of books to read. some, i actually found them and read them, but sometimes, i didn't finish it. but recently, well...about 2-3months ago, to be close to exact, he gave a book to read. and guess what? i almost finish. yeach...that surprised me too. the book, as many said that it is an easy read, i found it interesting in the sense of the content that made me wanted to find out more and more about this book and its conclusion. at the same time, this book, so far, had me think more about me. not just what i have become, but also, about my cultural background, about where i am right now physically, mentally, about my character, about who i really am. i found that very funny and challenging at the same time. it opened my mind to more things for me to want to explore, gain, research, etc.
btw, i'm not here to give any kind of book review, so i'm not going to write anything specific abt the book.
so, yeach, anyways, reading is indeed 'fun'-damental. something that i never thought i would say to myself. just can't believe that my brother actually the one that help me realize that. and oh, btw, he is older than me, so i definitely don't feel bad at all.
God bless....
