I think I'm a hardcore bookworm.

I read a book a night even though I've already start working.

I have books that fill up my home.My mom threaten to throw me out if I buy another book but I just could not help myself buying it.

All my book looks like brand new since when I read it I don't fold my book or open wide it.Yes I reread all my book at least three times.

I do not lend my book because I'm afraid they're going to ruin the book condition or they do not return it to me. I do lend it on some very special occassion.

In case of fire emergency in my home,first thing will be throw all my book outside and then only I save my family and the rest.

I was also a librarian and a the chief editor for my school magazine.

Yes I'm a speed reader which cause me to buy book a lot. 300 pages in 3 hours or less.So when I go on a long flight travel, I stop looking at those chick flick books that I can be done in less than 2 hours. I aim for those 800-1000++ pages.Even so, it can be finished in 10 hours flight with me sleeping on and off.

Anyway, any of you mind sharing second hand bookstores? I'm collecting James Clavell's novel and you can't get it in bookstores like Borders,MPH and all that. Plus buying full price for a book has taken a toll on my salary.

Haha I think the book that you want always don't appear in front of you.

Wilbur smith? what most of his novel about?

I'm into phillipa gregory now. I like the plots and the women in her novel.But I prefer historical background.

I know even I bored myself with my current novel choice with the historical british,china,japan background but what to do I'm still in that mood.

oh is this some kind of romance novel plots?

I'll be on the lookout for the author next time I go to the book store.

Haih I wish people around me is a book collector or something so I could borrow from them.Yes this does mean they can borrow from my collection as well.

well I don't think I'm happier reading that book that fast,the faster i read a book the faster i need to buy a new book.

so every single of my book i've read it minimum twice.

and whenever I start reading, I don't bother with anything around me. I don't get distracted by anything.hence the speed.

I read just because it transport you to another different world.

You kept a list? wow. I don't but I remember everything I've read before.
