Recently, while reading, I started to think about how reading absorbs me and gives me a way to transport myself into another world. It’s amazing. I am sure many of you can relate when I would tell you that some books you just can’t put down. You literally read them until your eyes droop and you want to pick them up again, first thing in the morning. Reading a good book is like diving into a mesmerizing sea of words, filled with thoughts, emotions and feelings that just leave you in awe.
While thinking about all this, I developed a few reading rules for myself and by which I stand firm. Let’s see if you agree with any.
This one’s a tough rule and most of my avid reader friends don’t believe in it, but I do. Sometimes, some books you just …show more content…
Well, if you are, then have the nerve to read every word of it. I think skipping pages because it is getting boring just breaks the flow of the story. It doesn’t do justice to the writer who has penned it down for us. I remember reading ‘The Hobbit’ and how I wanted to skip those exhaustive descriptions of hills and valleys. Nevertheless I read through it and finished the book.
How many of you carry a book in your bag? This one’s pretty practical for girls and I always keep a book with myself wherever I go, especially to university. You don’t want to look like a loser sitting alone, well you can and there is no harm in that. There are a million other things you can do if you’ve been let off from class early or you’re friends aren’t available. I just think that sitting alone in a corner of the cafeteria with a book, sipping coffee, just makes you look pretty cool. Plus, it will help the boredom and unwanted company away.
I firmly believe that the first few pages do not justify an entire book. To me the end counts. I love reaching the end and then forming my final verdict about how the book actually was. I don’t know but until I reach the end, I like the book even if I first hated it. So yes, don’t judge a book by its cover but certainly don’t judge it by its first few
