What
is heaven to you? To me: it is curling up in bed, while it is raining outside
with a cup of hot chocolate and a book to keep me company.
I
was a shy girl in my younger days, perhaps that was the reason that I found an
acquaintance in books. The magical world of books, where you connect with the
characters so much that you feel you are part of the story; where you lose
yourself in the book so much that you feel hollow when you finish it. I have
always preferred the books over the movies and any fellow reader would agree.
My fellow readers can also relate when I say that when you get deeply connected
with the story, you somehow want to end it and not end it.
I
do not know how many books I have read till date. It makes no sense to keep count
either. I still remember the day my sister and I realized that Awon library at Kupondole
moved. It was a heart wrenching day for us. We would spend hours at that
library, fiddling about the different aisles of books, cozy in a corner with
our noses tucked in a book.
Speaking
of tucking our noses in a book, I find many people asking me: how can you find
the patience to sit and read a book? The truth is: it is engrossing. I find no
other way to put it out better. It captures you the instant you start the book;
it turns you into that curious cat who wants to find out what happens at the
end. Of course, this is in the context of fictional books. Philosophical books
are a different matter.
