IF someone would have called me a ‘bookworm’ few weeks back, I probably would have laughed it out. I never used to get along well this books and novels. But with time, my hatred towards books slowly vaporized. Today, you can find me fishing around in landmark or Higginbotham’s searching for novels.
Can’t actually trace from when I did I develop this allergic reaction towards books. Probably it all started during my high school days, when I was like forced to huge voluminous books for my board exams. Before this, I used to visit the library regularly, and was a huge fan of Enid Blyton. Have read almost all her books including the ‘Famous Five’ and ‘Secret Seven’ series.
From then on, I just couldn’t stand novels. Usually used to find it very boring and used to make me feel sleepy. Between times, I did catch hold of a few, tried hard to improve my reading habit, but without any success.
Then one fine day, I paid a visit to the book shop. They had a huge collection ranging from classics to fiction, mystery to current affairs. After frantic exploring through the shop, I ended up buying a John Grisham novel ‘The Partner’. I found the book quite interesting. It revolved about a most wanted man who with his experience with law practices, somehow manages to get rid of all the charges which was imposed on him. With it arose my new passion for reading.
Since then, I have been quite regular to landmark and end up buying at least couple of books per month. Have a collection of books at home, which I am yet to read. ‘Catch 22’, ‘Hitchhikers Guide to Galaxy’, ‘The Fountainhead’, Coupled with books by John Grisham and Michael Crichton.
The main cause for me sudden passion towards books would be the rigorous work I do in office. People tend to relax after a long days work. Reading novels gives a soothing feeling at the end of day. Am happy to develop this habit and make sure it never perishes.
Some people love reading books. Likewise, some like writing blogs. What pleasure does one get by writing blogs? An answer which i myself have been searching for.

Well, i was never a bookworm since school time. however, after getting hold of a certain book during pre-u, it suddenly spurred my liking for books. i can't be considered a bookworm, but i still adore books all the same.
i also read john grisham..the jury, the pelican brief, the client, are among his best.
if you really love books try jeffry archer :)
The Partner was the first John Grisham book I read. The protagonist was a talented lawyer - a cheap, conniving, bastard probably, but talented. He managed to elude his partners for that long. That's amazing. But in the end he made a mistake in trusting a woman, of all people. LOL.
Those are good books you chose. Haven't read any of them but I hear they're good. Catch-22 especially.
Ha, I never liked Michael Crichton simply because I don't like to read scifi but I did read The Sphere and it had a very intriguing premise. Plus, the movie version of his books were pretty good. Speilberg, yo' the man!
As for pleasure in writing blogs. How much do you like to hear yourself talk? And how much do you like it when people respond to what you're talking about? I say writing blogs is self-service for the most part.
Thanks for the good site.
