In my opinion, there is misconception between reading a book and doing general reading. To be honest, most Malaysian or people would think you must read books, paper novels and alike. Well i think there's no excuse for price and limitation of books now with wifi's and abundance internet connections available.

Excuses are made for not taking the baby steps to read short anecdotes or stories and fear to take the mantle of reading thick novels. For example, many would say they would get sleepy after reading two pages. Well, which human wouldn't if they are obviously tired. Or to deceive themselves, reading status updates and conversations in Facebook would not succumb to this mental tardiness excuse. Apart from holding paperback novels or a newspaper, why not read the rapidly changing news portal which i think is a jewel of knowledge in every subject one can choose from.

Reading should be thought only about stories or crunching word counts and pages. Reading should be an enjoyable experience without regret or the desire to make an excuse for not to read.

They are reading experience of being in a trance of fantasies or adventure, but why not take the other modes of reading as a self enchancement tool.

I think reading is a damn good hobby to do. Instead of killing time, we are enchancing ourself too. Some people are too ridiculous nowadays to even go an everyday lives of reading only a page of article or worse, a headline and continue with 6 hours of gaming-brain-eroding session.
