Books are amazing ! A book can either be educational, entertaining, a useful tool to hide or all of the above. Let's start with educational. We have our textbooks, our self help books and how to books. Depending on our mood, our interest or time availability, we can either love it or hate! But a book doesn't simply means study and learn. It can be of assistance. It could be a guide to certain places. We can find various books that can tell us what to expect in places that we are going to, planning to go to or dream to go to. And this doesn't even have to be your tour book types. It could be a Danielle Steel novel that describes Nice or Paris, France, or Rome or England or California. Or it could be the book titled "The Other Boleyn Girl", that could take you back in time of Henry the VIII. It could be a Tom Clancy book, that can take you a few decades back, and you can also immerse yourself as Jack Ryan, a guy who was in the wrong place at the right time. Thank heavens to Jack (!), bloodshed in Bogota, Columbia was kept to a minimum! A book can also be good company. It entertains you as you take the train, the bus or whatever form of transportation you take (except driving your car) going to work. Not only that it's quiet and does your bidding, it can also be a helpful tool to avoid talking to people that you don't feel exchanging niceties with. So, there you go! Pick a book. Learn, dream, laugh, cry or simply hide. Choose a book for whatever floats your boat.

reading books has always been my pastime.. books have always been my solace in times of need and despair.. my escape from reality.. my ticket to fantasy..

I only read trivial and factual info books, aside from educational books such as programming and coding books.

educational books are a must.. but shouldn't we also delve into those depths where the impossible happen?.. where damsels in distress have their knights in shining armor?.. where a simpleton could be a hero?.. where with great power comes great responsibility?.. surely, a bit of entertainment won't hurt.. or does it?..

That is also a bit interesting genre of reading materials, and so I also agree on seeking entertainment on books, well on my part, I don't have little time to read on those kind of books, but hey way back on my high school days, I am fond of reading romance novels. Sad to say, I have forgotten their titles, and its quite a long time ago in fact. What I have remembered are those romantic scenes, the way main characters showed their affection and did antagonists tried to block their way.
Come figure it out.

oh, you should go back and buy those books you have read to refresh the stories. its sometimes good to have a relaxing time with books, in it you were able to unravel the mystery the world has to offer.

If I have time to passby the bookstore, I will try to buy them and if I have time to read, but I bet I could not, I have a very hectic schedule making friends over the internet in these times. :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to one and all.
