How Do You Read?

Let's see, reading habits...It depends what am I reading and what's the purpose of reading it? For me, reading a novel is different from reading from reading a manga, Japaneses comic books. Shoeless Joe for instance, it's assigned to me to finish reading before school starts. I take my time reading novels to let everything I read sinks in, I try to get at least five pages per day. Usually when I read a novel, I would like to sit on my living room sofa in the afternoon--right after a nice yummy lunch, a nice cup of tea or plain glass of water near my reach whenever I feel thirsty while reading. It helps me concentrate better if the room I'm reading is in silence, however I tend to get suck into the book once I start reading so noises don't tend to be an issue. The only exception is my mp3 player, I cannot concentrate when my favorite songs are whispering in my ears, my lips just immediately mouth he lyrics out.

As for mangas, it once again depend on the location, because nowadays people can read mangas online. Thus, it really depends if I have a hard copy in my hands or if I'm reading it from my computer screen. "Whenever and wherever" that's the idea of reading mangas--time and place doesn't matter as long as I can find somewhere to sit. Likewise, I don't have to find a place to sit-- leaning on the wall will do just fine, either way I'll just dive into a world filled with wonders and magic. Now as for reading it from a computer, although it saves me money I much rather have the manga in my two hands than using the mouse to scroll down the page and click the arrow button just to wait again for the page to load--and repeat. Somehow, it's the touch of a book that makes all the magic happen...

Hmm, aside from novels and mangas-- I also read a lot of blogs, aside the fact that we have to do blog for school assignments, I read blogs my friends posted about their life. Reading a blog is the same as reading manga online without the pictures. The only difference is that I'm always sitting in front of a computer, wither it's at school or in my bedroom. I quickly glance at it, choose to type a comment or not, re-read what they type because I want to make sure to stay in topic and sometimes I type too much I tend to forget what they typed, and finally I post what I want to say. Mostly when I read blogs I think if there's anything interesting or amusing that I should type-- I know that bloggers love to get comments, so I often take a minute to see how what I've read reflects with my life, and I reply with a comment based on that!
