Neardy?

when i told a good friend that i am reading a book, he told me nobody reads books anymore... only nerds read books... i laughed at his joke. But seriuosly, i find reading books is very much rewarding and very full filling..

I started reading when i was in primary school, where my favourite materials was Beano and Dandy comis, then it was roy of the rovers. Then i moved to Famous Fives, Nancy Drew and Enid Blyton books.. I usually read while eating and before falling to bed.

In school, we were school fortunate, where we would be asked to read certain classics every months like Treasure Island, the 39 steps, Montezuma kings and Animal Farm.. Though the best book I read at school was the Cossacks.

though i have a passion for reading, i can't read educational materials, which relates to my field of study.. too bloody boring...

recent times, i started to purchase books of interest from the internet, and i am able to finish the book within the week....

so far this year the best read is the the long walk to freedom an AB of Mandela and Living the Dream by Mils.. My next target will be Playing With The enemy,a book on how the RWC in South Africa united a nation, by a simple gesture of Madiba wearing the Jersey of Francois Penaar during the presentation of the trophy...
