Learning to Read and Write
I must warn you that this is not a new sentiment. I have a number of unread books at home and yet I can’t stop myself from looking at more and then buying some. I have decided to give up on the books that I tried reading but just couldn’t finish for a number of reasons. Maybe I’ll sell them online or something. I’ve read somewhere that someone said “people buy books for either of two reasons: to read them or to have bragging rights about them.” I think I buy books because they call to me. Or something. And I actually read most of those I buy. But I need to focus here. I sometimes feel I can’t concentrate enough when sitting down with a book these days. Too much Internet is making me breezy. I need to find gulf shores condo rental and get a vacation, eh?
I’m also trying to flex my writing muscles, by writing about boring stuff for others no less. I miss really writing. I’m not inspired by the directions both my blogs are going. But that’s my fault. I’m learning again. Here’s hoping I’ll never stop learning.
borrow na lang ng ibang books mo. haha.
i feel the same way as to writing, or at least as to the directions of my blogs. I am unable to write what i really want to write on, and sometimes I could not think of any, too busy inserting the words.
but you write well. kahit hindi mo gusto sinusulat mo. galing nga, e.
aww thanks mordsith. sure, when you come back … I have a new Murakami. di ko pa nga lang nabasa, hehe
magaling ba talaga si murakami? a friend of mine really likes murakami, and she’s always telling me i should try at least one book.
eks, so far I’ve only read Kafka on the Shore, one of his most popular works. From the story perspective, it was a bit hazy; I’m not sure if I understood every symbolism and riddle. But I love the writing style. Dami quotables.
