Been relaxing at home, battling with the humid weather by losing myself in books. I can't do without a book for more than 2 days if I'm at home.

I read while eating breakfast, lunch, dinner, actually as long as I eat alone, a book accompanies me. I read somewhere that that isn't a good habit because when you're engrossed in reading, you tend to eat more and stuff yourself although you might already be full. But oh well, it's a habit that I can seem to break. I feel so weird without a book in my hand while eating alone. It's like what am I supposed to do when eating?

I read while taking a break from surfing the net, while there's a very long commercial break in between the TV shows I watch. I don't read newspaper cover to cover though, only the articles that interest me from time to time. I'm more of novels & magazine person. I lost count of the times I re-read the few books I own. I need a bigger library at home! :(

I know there are e-books out there but somehow it just doesn't seem the same as holding a book in your hands and perusing it. I like a variety of novels but recently I can't seem to stomach down any serious literature or sad stories. When I'm in a holiday mood, all I can take in seem to be beach reads and chick lit. Even when I run out of books to read nowadays, I tend to re-read my old Sweet Valley High/ Harry Potter than Nineteen Minutes or The Kite Runner, both of which are novels I love but are just too heavy for me now.

Anyway, just finished a book about lonely hearts and lost dogs, your typical chick lit. It was quite okays, nothing very noteworthy but if you want a book to pass your time, the book should do. I like how the story builds around the dogs though, dogs who were abandoned, loyal, not entirely well-behaved, who were given a second chance. I like the idea that there's a perfect dog for every owner out there and when you see them, you know it. Reading the book makes me want to adopt/ buy a puppy but I shan't do it because taking care of a dog requires huge responsibility, not to mention, plenty of money and I don't think I can do it now. I prefer dogs that I can play with and hand back at the end of the day now.

Hmmm, whose dog needs a playmate? ;)
