Simply set aside some fixed hour of the day and stick to it. After a while, you will find it both addictive and rewarding - not to mention refreshing and literally "outa this world!!"

I've recently become addicted to reading again! Went crazy in December-Janaury period buying over 10 books ... and finished all but 1 (The King of Torts - John Grisham). Maybe I'll start that tonight :) I agree, books are great companions. I’ve recently become addicted to reading again!

I complain too much huh! I started with The First Forty-Nine Stories and I guess I just got bitten by the reading bug again. Too bad I was sleepy and took a nap after reading only the first two pages. Lucia, Like you, Wuan and I like to buy books when they are dumped into the bargain bin. Believe it or not? We bought one book costing more than RM150 four years ago and it is still sitting in a cabinet somewhere unopened. Wena, Yes, Popular Book Store gave a 20% discount for its card members buying Nyonya Flavours. We did not have the card but the kind soul before us had and offered to let us use hers. Fel, Reading is as addictive as playing an exciting PC game. I used to read until four in the morning every night, anything that I could get my hands on.You finished ten books in two months? I am impressed. Now that I have just started and the two books that I have were gotten dirt cheap, I wished I had bought a few more. Wuan is going to reprimand me because when she wanted to get a few more, I told her two is enough. Pauline,
