bookish

I am reading this book and I wasn’t really inspired by it. I had regrets of having bought that book though I got it at Book Sale for only P35. The title was catchy enough for me to take hold of it…but it didn’t meet my expectations. I was hoping to at least learn some positive stuff. I wanted to be entertained at the same time. I was quite annoyed on his attempts at humor. His attempts weren’t funny at all. So, I decided to drop reading it and went for the other one I also bought at Book Sale. I’ve only read the preface so far. The title is ‘Oprah Winfrey Speaks’ and I think, this will engage me enough to read it from cover to cover. I like Oprah. I want to know more about her.

Last week, Ferna lent me a book authored by Og Mandino entitled, ‘The Greatest Salesman in the World.’ The book was old and torn already. Actually, Ferna even told me to return it to her since it was given to her by Roy (one of her best friends) and she couldn’t get a copy of it anymore in bookstores. Now, this one really inspired me! It was so good that I even keep on re-reading the scrolls from 1 to 10. I’ve heard of this book before but I thought, it was just like the others that focus on getting rich and all… but it wasn’t. Being the greatest salesman isn’t really directed in accumulating the worldly wealth.

I want to catch up again on reading as I missed the joy of it last year. I wasn’t on a ‘reading mode’ that time but lately, I had this urge to read again. I want to learn and be entertained at the same time. I can go to the places I’ve never been to before, know about different cultures…without going anywhere….
