A bookworm declaration

The more I read, the more I get addicted...

I have to say that I’m rather relieved that the summer has now officially gone. It was simply getting harder to comfort myself with air conditioners which are essential in summer in our area but gradually eats my health. Getting out of the aircraft from Munich at Heathrow airport, I was so pleased that my return to UK has been welcomed by showery and windy English weather despite those people who were clearly annoyed by the climate like a man behind me who shouted ‘it’s winter!’ as he sensed the air outside.

So here I am in a very nice and comfortable sofa in my own flat and it’s a sunny day which has been already a week or so. I’m enjoying Scottish Autumn. I still have a week to start my new term so this is what I decided in order to indulge myself. Books. OH, YES! Finally I seemed to have fallen in love with books. Beautiful literature, clauses, expressions and emotions flowing out of following pages make me experience a perfect world of satisfaction. I always knew I liked bookshops—as a matter of fact, countless visits were made to smell new books and soak myself up into the bookshop atmosphere which I totally loved but somehow never could really touch actual books.

I started out with To Kill a Mockingbird. I also read Eat Pray Love which was recommended by a friend of mine. Now I’m reading Harry Potter series of which I’m a big fan. I found the spines of the Harry Potter titles are aesthetically highly pleasing with a different combination of colours when they sit in a bookshelf altogether. This reading habit could be really addictive but I think I’d like to spoil myself as much as I can.
