"You always carry a book when you travel. You are possessive for your books. You hate when someone interrupts you while reading. And above all you hate writing in books."
If the above lines apply to you welcome to the the "Bookworm Community". Bookworm is a tag which is often confused with studious looking guys with nerdy glasses sitting on the first bench of the class. It is sad that such pathetic people who slog hard and mug up course books just to score marks earn this tag so easily. People whose worlds are confined to the curriculum prescribed by the school, board or the educational authority. On the contrary true "Bookworms" are imaginative and knowledgeable people for whom education isn't limited to school or degree courses.
A bookworm doesn't memorize a book; he understands it. Reading books is a captivating habit in itself. It is a mesmerising experience as well as a recreational cum educational activity.
With the advent of computers the population of bookworms is decreasing alarmingly. Who would read a dull black and white book when you have the options of all the 3D games available? When I was a kid I used to buy paperback/hardback copies of books and those were my prized possessions. Nowadays a self-proclaimed Bookworm like myself has to compromise with the easily available eBooks. But take my word reading an eBook will never provide the exultation which reading a hard copy of a book provides you with.
Some say they like fiction, some say they like drama, some like biographies, some like travel books, but a "Bookworm" doesn't have a genre. He'll read anything that comes his way. I don't exactly remember which was the first book I read but I've always enjoyed reading books. Whenever I am in a false mood I pick up a book to release the pressure. "Books are your best friend" and I completely agree to this. I am proud to be a "Bookworm"!!!!!
seriously good one..
