I thought they gonna charge me money if I borrow those fictions and non - fiction novels from the bookshelf at the corner of break room. It turns out, it wasn't. They usually have this book sale for United Way, a charity organization to help those children who needs help. I guess not many interest in reading novels, or they might not have sufficient time to read them due to busy working schedule, now there were still many books left on the bookshelf. I asked around, they told me that I can borrow them if I want to, and remember to put them back once I finish reading them. Well, why not, for while, I haven't read a novel. Now, I am into reading again.

I've also started reading again, because I found a fun fantasy series called The Ranger's Apprentice and I'm really enjoying it. I've mainly been reading comics and manga, so it's nice I found a novel I want to read.

Great of you! I've always thought of reading as one of the best hobbies a person can have, because aside from learning so much, you also enjoy a lot too! I myself stopped reading for at least 1-2 years, and I've only gotten back to it around 1 and a half years ago, and I couldn't be more thankful! I find that the best way to unwind after a horrible say is to immerse myself in a thick paperback. Hopefully you'll feel the same way too!

wow that is good for you that they will only be lending the books to you and you are not to pay for anything. :D i guess for me i'd need to see if there are like that in our place. :D he he maybe you can also share some for the books you read.. you said that its for charity and if you like a book enough to buy it.. why not buy it yourself? =)

Hello there kingparker! That's great that you've been into reading again. How I wish that the book that I wanted to read is the one that is in my interest. We do have too many books here in our house but then they're not my type. Hehehe... Reading is fun and it also widens our vocabulary!

Fantastic! I enjoy both reading and writing, and it always makes me happy to see people get back into it. I love going to the library to borrow books. There are so many options to choose from.
My last job had been keeping me incredibly busy. The pay was awful, and I was missing out on a lot of time that I could have used for reading or writing. I'm very glad that's over and done with.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy your books! :]

Well, I used to read novels but now I have been reading books more closely related to what I am focusing on. You are lucky to be able to borrow books for free. In my city we have no such places that lends books for free. Happy mylotting and reading.

Awesome!! I was 'off' reading for a few months back when I didn't think I had time or motivation to read, but lately I've been a total bookworm. I think I've read at least 4 books this month which is totally amazing considering how slow of a reader I am. I love reading. Especially crime and mystery novels. . Happy reading to you!

It's great that you're reading again! I can't get through a day without reading something. I have a whole wall unit of books and I've read them all at least three times. My favorite time to read is at night while hubby is watching the news. I find it a lot more inspiring than listening to all the bad news going on in the world.

Hey, I just responded to you about your lost glasses
Anyway, it is good that you are reading again! It is a habit which everyone can learn so much from! I also like reading, I have a large book collections. But I stopped reading when I started working. I read a few books every now and then but it is not like the school days before when I read several books each week. I was a total reader back then.
I never thought I would agree with those ebooks thing, but I am planning on buying ereader! I think it would be cheaper to download ebooks than buy real ones. Plus, I don't have space in my bookshelves anymore!

That is good for you. I haven't reading something like a novel for a long time. I wish i was there to look for good books since there were still many books left. LOL. But anyways, happy reading. What's the title of the book you are reading now?
