I bought a book

‘I bought a book today,’ was jotted down on my journal for that day. Not only one but many. It was for that particular day, and mostly on the days I received my pay.

A few days ago, I need to look up something from my diary. I noticed some of them which took my eyes. Sometimes I enjoy reading my old journal, which was very personal.

Not only did I write only a sentence in my diary, but I also noted down the name of the book. Yet I’m not revealing one here. It must have been unfair to my favorite authors. My favorite authors vary depending on the categories of the book.

Buying a Book:

Buying a book, for me, was enticing and the sense of satisfaction it brought along was pleasant. It was good having a job and earning money. For some, it gave them status, but for me, it was for putting food on the table.

All books, to me, were worth reading. It was because I respect someone who put his effort, and take time out to write something he or she believes is worth talking about. I also enjoyed following authors who simply put out what is in their minds due to the circumstances around them.
Reviewing Books:

Then, I also took time to review their book to myself first when I’m done reading. And then, noted down a few things or drop a line if I’m buying it online.I’m saddened I could not buy books more book, as I have to quit my job.

However, I did not buy books online during those days. It was not common then, at least not in my reach.
When I left my office, I would stroll down the bookstores nearby the streets and also the ones which were

Reading a Book:

Some books touch our hearts and boost our morale. According to their category, I enjoyed reading it over and over again. I’m not wise enough to make choices for my book. Also, I did not learn as much as the book intended its reader to benefit from it.

While I was in my hospital bed for a long time, books were my companion. Although the eyes got strained and my hands were unable to hold the book for me. Yet those underlined sentences, words, and notes on the side of the book I already read keep me nourished.

The Bible apps become handy during those periods. I still have that Bible from my childhood with me. It bears worn out, but not the words inside it. The word of God is powerful, strong, compassionate, and good for all times.

I love visiting a nearby library when I was working. But now, I have little access to such type of conveniences or services I dreamed of setting up a small library at all costs, but only time will tell.

For, I know that I shouldn’t burden with ideas which were above my reach.

When not buying books:

For some years now, I’m relying on the ‘free’ unaccredited courses in theology. It was interesting at the time and helpful.

It is becoming more and more interesting once I began the courses. Yet after I left my job budget is always tight to chase my dream. Children’s education comes first now. However, everything is possible with God!
Although my health did not improved very well, I started blogging again and published some books. Here is my Amazon Author Page.

Slow, sad, and soulful music with deep lyrics was a treat to me. Trying to decode the word one by one. In my mother tongue, we also have this song with very deep words, which takes you to the place where the writer was. No one except the writer explaining his or her work would really know the reason for an article or short poem.

Bookworm and buyers:

I believe many of the book buyers and readers, not my book, might resonate with me. Some books stayed on longer in our life. They become our companions.

Many times, we tend to live by the book. However, it is quite different than in the books. The romance is in the air. The sweet dialogues, the motivations, and the purpose were sometimes far and never will it become a reality. I love the imagination, dreams, and running….

In the end, it depends on the books we were ready for, the reason we were reading in the seas of books. Yet there is a translucent image behind every book.

All about books:

All bestsellers did not work well for me. I now know it’s due to some marketing gimmicks. There were books still on my rack, but I did not remember where I picked them up. It means they were considered not popular. Yet they were worthy of giving time to read it over and over again.

Every book has its purpose and also its hidden agenda. All books will not fit in your box or your ideology of life.

The easiest thing to do is to judge and review according to your own. Yet our reviews must not be misleading.

Dear readers, I wish you well in finding a good book. Happy Reading!
