a starter : can't tell whether I can call my self bookaholic,,, where the books I read are few anyhow the soul and mind is craving more ...
6 years ago .. if someone told me I would stop reading I wouldn't believe.. if another told me that after I stop I will return and read 50 books - even though they are small - in 10 month I would tell him that's nonsence ..!
Let me take you to the effect of the 1st glass- meaning the 1st book- ,, the one that get me into addiction with reading ,this is a bit of a fussy memory - I regret that I never wrote it before but it is good that am writing part of it now and may be if I remember anything else I can add it later - I was like 9 years old - may be a little older - where my grandma "god bless her soul" gave me a present as I passed with success in school a series of books and since that I keep asking her for more whenever I succeed ..
Another time .. another event .. may be I was 12 or more ..them my mam encourage me to read novels in english saying that this helped her in improving her language .. and then it was " Jane Eyre " * this is a marvelous novel ..
Between the memory of my grandma gift and the encouragement of my mom I couldn't forget my dad's library where I sneak to read - especially romance novels ( called abeer ) and in this time there where also my lovely friend where we encourage each other especially in those romance novels & Agatha Christie
and I shall not forget my brother too and the books we bought together ( egyptian ones called a man of impossible series )
Let me take you back again to the 6 years ago ..where I entered college and I get caught in the middle of medical books and another activities where reading was not a part of it .. and I don't even know why !!
The beginning of 2012 ...I graduated.. now I can return to books .. and by a coincidence I discovered this website goodreads.com through someone I follow on twitter and I made my challenge as 24 per year that mean 2 books by month and after 3 month I decided to double it to 50 with all the enthusiasm and friend who are bookholics too and it was done thanks to good and before the end of the year
last hallucination : this was to be about the 50 books I read or other books ,,,but I got caught with the memory of the past .. so may be next time
god bless you all
and cheers to reading
