On reading

In such a boring situation without internet (most of time, hehehe), reading became a habit. Within the past 8 months, I have finished about a dozen books. Finally I got a time to start to empty my bookshelf full of unread books I bought within the last 7 years. However, the interest on reading induced my another habit, that is, to surf around Amazon and books.com.tw for more books. And thus it turns out I got more and more books on my shelf at the end -.-||.

When I did the reading these days, I came realizing that my English reading is finally improving again ever since I can read scientific papers. The habitual reading of the Economist is working out! For those who want to improve reading should try finding some unfamiliar topics (economy is so unfamiliar and kind boring) and get into a boring place (where I am is definitely the most idiotic and boring places) and spend the whole day reading (I don't use my brain here unless during reading my books, since there is no need to use knowledge in other things). Finally I can understand more of the humor and discover habitual usage of terms by an author, and thus it is finally interesting to read English novels (-.-||).

Anyway, habitual reading is good, except that books are heavy especially when I have to move from Beitou to Kaohsiung and then back to Beitou with all the luggage in that ugly bag><.
