Reading


Reading is one of my favorite hobby. I started to enjoy reading when I was in Primary Three. I usually read books which are hand-me downs from my siblings. Even though they look old and tattered, I don’t mind as long as the pages are still intact. As a , I like to read books written by Enid Blyton, usually lost in its magical land with gnomes, goblins, fairies, walking chair etc.

During my teenage years and also out of curiosity age, I started to read Mills & Boons, the romance paperback during those days. When in the working world, I started to read Sidney Sheldon’s novels and the way he write the stories really made me unable to put down the books. They are written with a combination of mystery and romance and good endings. I have also enjoyed reading books written by Harold Robbins and Jackie Collins too. They are a few good and great authors that I like.

Nowadays, I read magazines more than books. I guess as I’m older now I tend to get a little lazy, thus reading magazine is a shorter route than reading a book.

When I was younger, you couldn't get me to read. Then around about 6th or 7th grade, I started to read. Science Fiction mostly because I was (and still am) very much interested in space exploration. Now, I have a collection of probably close to 3000 books (not all of them read, of course. I have to have somethng to do in my retirement!). It seems now, I want to read, but have so little time to do so.
