To me being a bookworm, state of being gaga over books is an irrisistible situation. Wanting to have books has been part of my life that it inspired me to be a writer someday and to emulate the authors of the books I read. Prolific ones. Books get me often inside the house digesting every page with my brain. They are one of the reasons why I neglect going outside. So, when my friends do not see me hanging outdoor, I suggest that they be aware I am reading again.
Whenever I overhear my friends, chatting about books, especially novels, it signals that it is time for me to interfere with their conversation. When I start to talk, glee and enthusiasm can be reflected in my face. "Oh, I would like to read Sparks!" There were moments like that. They should settle a clandestine meeting to talk about books because there may be a talking machine like me joining their chat, not planning to let the moment end.
Books also become a factor of my obliviousness of house chores. Once I lie on the bed and open a page, it may be difficult for anyone to pull me out of my room. Yes, I admit it. Moreover, it also is a reason that my mother reprimands me about exhausting my whole day lending my eyes to the papers. I think this habit needs to be changed. I know that there are something else I have to finish doing house chores and making my bed. In spite of that, wise expenditure of time now comes my way.
Aside from being zestful about reading novels, I am fond of reading academic stuffs such as pamplets, dictionaries, and encyclopedias. This is a thing of which I am certain: they help me a lot.
It was during our Filipino class when I learned that a wide reader does not lag in terms of many things; instead, he leads and exceeds others. At that time, I was already a book enthusiast. Hearing that fact, I was just reinforced to read more and more.
Dictionary is one of the most powerful influences that succored me against indifference to reading. Without its support, I would have not been a bright one, and I would have found it arduous to read. I have enriched my vocabulary. I have been more concerned about the English language. I learned what "rendezvous" is. It also bestowed me the way to excelling as a speller in our school.
I also possess a profound liking for history books. It provides the way to a wide range of knowledge concerning the world and its best occurrences. Since I was in grade school, I have liked history so much. I knew everything about the World War 1 and 2, the earliest civilizations, and the like.
Emily Dickinson has just fortified my belief that there is no frigate like a book. A book can make us travel farther than a vehicle can do. Imagination is incited, knowledge supplemented. Would one develop his love of book, brilliance and knowledge approach; so does success. There is no toll in reading a book. Furthermore, it paves us the gratis path to the pinnacle of our triumph: a fruitful life...
