The whole world in a paperback

Here's our picture of the day! Kind of appropriate for today's post. It seems so bokeh-magical. Haha!

Last year I was really dying to see that I had so many books I haven't finished reading yet. And to think that I haven't even started some! Well what can I do? I had to read textbooks rather than storybooks because of school. Hm... Not that I really did read those textbooks. *evil grin*

But since I still have a few days before July 20, I can read all of the books I haven't read yet. So far, from the month of April up to this day, I've already read Harry Potter 6, 7 (Had to reread them. Haha! For HBP comes into theaters in July. Needed to refresh the memory. I always do that.) The 39 Clues: The Sword Thief by Peter Lerangis, The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, The Alchemyst by Michael Scott and The Little White Horse by Elizabeth Goudge.

Right now I'm reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. Haha I've read the first 50 pages I think for 4 times already! I can't seem to finish it every time I attempt to read it. Probably because I had a lot on my plate whenever I decided to open it. Nonetheless, I enjoyed reading it even though... You know... Four times... Haha.

I have this one book given to me by Ninang Renee back in Christmas of 2004. Eragon by Christopher Paolini. I'm always enchanted by the thought of dragons living side by side with us humans. Haha but you know what, I have only read the first 100 pages. Up until now... The year 2009... I have not finished it! I know I know. Shame on me.

I'll bring Eragon to our dorm and I'll read it there and actually finish it!!! That is... If thick books about Math and Science don't get in the way. Hahahaha :)) j/k

Aaah. I can't really form into words or sentences or paragraphs how I feel whenever I read books. It's like a way to survive from daily stress, an outlet whenever you feel down or scared or plain bored from all the internet crazes going on, a friend who tells you everything about magic, love, history, family, cakes, friendship, ships, secret codes and everything else in between.

But for me...
I could never ever live without books. They're like my old friends. Friends whom you can count on or talk to when you're in an unfamiliar place with unfamiliar people. (Something like that. Haha if it's possible to bring all the books I want to read/reread to college I would but my back would pay for it all because of the heaviness haha. As what Mo from Inkheart said, 'Books have to be heavy because the whole world's in them.'
