so as the days pass by, inch-by-inch closer to the book swapping event, the anticipation builds up slowly. however, an unfortunate loss to the blogging community has caused the event to be suspended.
ok, since the event was cancelled, and i was at klcc on the same day, the anticipation build-up was too great that i find myself in kinokuniya, purchasing 4 books. urgh...
and i noticed that i am a very picky reader. every single book i picked up, i will wonder, "will this book benefit me? or will it just be a simple read and i will totally forget about it? am i going to learn something from it?" yes, even the fiction ones.
now, this isn't entirely a bad thing, but i realize that it is quite selfish of me to pick books like that. can't a book be entertaining by itself with its wit and humour? must it be beneficial to you only then it's worth reading?
but again, i don't exactly have a lot of spare time, and when i read, i read things with a pinch of salt, that is not to believe everything i read. it can be scary how some things are just made up, and even scarier how a lot of people (including me.. as i used to be) just read and take it for granted that what you read equals (=) truth and don't bother checking up on the facts.
and that is the reason why i carefully choose the materials i read, books that has been proven to be good etc etc..
