Reading~

well… for all those who know me reasonably well… will know that i’m a book-holic… those 5mths plus on exchange had been perfect but for the fact that english novels are hard to come by in south korea.=)

However… i’ve been noticing a trend to my reading habits… I haven’t been reading that many serious fiction or literature novels or poetry for that matter… not since my jc days… which will totally disappoint my gp tutor not to mention my lit teacher back in secondary school… I’ve been reading those light novels, contemporary stuff, light suspense/thriller kind…

don’t get me wrong… i’m not a book snob here.. i’ve read everything from sweet valley to plato.. it’s just that I feel i’ve been neglecting my literary education for far too long… i made excuses like sch is so dead stressful that i didn’t need to stress myself out further by trying to understand the nuances of serious lit… but i think my brain is in serious danger of stagnating…

and on a larger picture… i guess this is a bid to overhaul my life somewhat this hols… not really liking myself and my life at the moment… and starting with a relatively easier goal to improve my reading habits… since i can’t quite go without it anyway…

hopefully i’ll have good stuff to blog about after starting this 43Things stuff… it’s quite cool i think… if i succeed then i’ll have alot to owe the founder of this thing=)
