Reading

The 1st book I read was probably Hansel & Gretel. I remembered crying when I was learning how to read. My mother would have a cane in one hand while I read and every mistake I make will result with the cane. I don't remember being stupid perhaps I just wasn't interested at that time... hmmm surely there is no need for so much pressure at the age of 3??

Anyway, after leaving school I have stopped reading for awhile. I am just plain lazy. I blame the lifestyle in Malaysia.
Places and when we read in London;
1. while travelling in train and tube
2. while waiting for train and tube
3. before bed
4. in bed, in the weekends
5. in the winter and you rather stay in than go out.
Unlike in London, Malaysia don't have the convenience of trains and tubes and we are used to driving. So, we can't read while we drive can we? I can't even read the map while I'm driving!! lol!
In other times, I rather go shopping and watch bootleg vcd. VCD is so cheap, I was buying a few vcd to watch every week. Also we go out for dinner all the time in Malaysia, there's no winter to keep us in the house. Is that good??

Here's the books I've read since Christmas 2006
1. Harry Potter 1-6
2. Doctor who series, only finished 4 :)
3. Chronicles of Ancient Darkness series
4. Eragon & half of Eldest
5. Sabriel, Lirael & Abhorsen series
6. Gordon Ramsay - humble pie (boring really)
7. Chris Moyles, gospel (this is funny)
8. Wild Swans - have just finished this last week, phew!
