Super Bookworm

I know, reading doesn't keep up with the image of a superhero but i do love to bury my head in a book most of the time. I'm big on bargain book hunting and my novels keep piling up cause I keep on buying and collecting even if i still have a lot of unread ones stacked on my small shelf. I'm sure most booklovers can relate. So now, I sell some of them in my multiply site. (The website is still in the works, my apologies)

Anyway, here's a TAG I copied and posted. I hope readers out there would participate and share their favorites, too.

TOTAL BOOKS READ FROM THIS MEME: 30 (!) 

Some of my friends say , I read too much. I don't care. Reading takes me to other worlds and makes me learn about cultures and histories that are foreign to me. I'm not the type though who'd  post quotes from a book in their statuses or blogs. When reading, I try to understand the author's style and overall beauty and impact of the novel. Based on impact, my favorites are Atonement, The Kiterunner and The Da Vinci Code.

My Big Mistake

Anyways, I guess the biggest mistake I did because of reading was when my friends came over at my house and I didn't get out of my bedroom because I was so engrossed with a book. They didn't come over anymore after that. We're still friends but I guess they were offended because I ditched them for a book.  Heck, I cant even remember the name of the book or it's story. It's now that I realized that that was really wrong and stupid. Lesson learned.

Okay, now, it's your turn to share about the books you love, too. Am I a record holder with my total of 30 ?
