Am i a reader?

nope, i'm more of a visual reader/learner, but i do like being surrounded by books.

So the past two weeks, i visited 4 different public libraries and 2 dif Half Price book stores. Weird isn't it? You would not hear someone saying they went to different libraries in one day then go to another one the next day without a legitimate reason. And i'm sure mines isn't really justifiable.

What made me go to a different library tho was becuz the local branch i go to is still 'under renovation.' I like the library atmosphere, it makes me focus a lot more than at home and school. idk, maybe cuz i used to always go there once a week. It just felt weird not being there anymore after going there after so many times. So i just randomly went on a library spree and bought a few books here and there, including Half Price Book Store. However, i don't really read much of the books that i check out (my feet likes to go towards the DVD section instead :P). I go there mostly for the studious atmosphere and check out reference books when needed.

One other reason that i went on that spree was that i wanted to go somewhere new but not too different. Idk if it makes sense, but I like going to new places that still consists of an atmosphere that i'm familiar with. It lightens up my mood but makes me feel safe & confident that i know what's going on around me. So, in a way, it didn't had to be a library but since i haven't gone there in a while, it just came to mind like that.

So yeah..looks like i have a lot to read now that i bought and borrowed some new books. Hopefully i have another break that will make me read them. I can't really read in one setting w/o the right mood and atmosphere (much like reading a textbook). If not anytime soon...oh well, they look great on my shelf. :D
