My Reading Habits

Iam an extremely indisciplined reader, the major reason for stating,sharing and confessing this aspect of mine is the pathetic record ive garnered on this front.Iam one of those readers who :

• Strongly beleives in 'word of mouth' for a particular book.
• The cover pages has to be appealling
• Same with the epilogue
• Off-late,the author has to be known atleast in my coterie.
• I beleive in "love at first sight" for a book

I dont know the reason for my indiscpline,one reason which iam observing is i start feeling sleepy the moment i take a book(this roots to my academic days-so can't help it).Recently AK gave me a great book to read which iam finding it hard to finish as the print of the pages and the fonts are not-'my type'.

Secondly my addiction to cricket and movies is also becoming a poison for my reading habit.I think the best way is to lock myself in a room and hammer myself with these words "Start reading and finish the book bugger or else god will curse you to remain virgin throughout your life".But here also lies one small but crucial problem, the moment i read a book with the no. of pages in my mind then i fail to struck a chord with it.Its kinda the same feeling which a Hindi movie hero gets when his mother says "Agar tumne meri pasand ki ladki se shaadi nahi ke tu mera mara hua munh dekhoge",poor chap is left with only one option.

Well,pray for me not to become a hero.
