I am not a bookworm. Despite whatever people assume about being a law practitioner and a bookworm, where it seems, that those two words linked together; I am none of those. I only read simple stuff. I only read when my work requires me to. I don't read books or magazines for fun or for the love of it. I don't read very much. I don't even read newspaper. And for one, I simply avoid romantic novels.
Nonetheless, many weeks ago, I downloaded full series of Twilight novels on my phone. I read on a few pages and got hooked up. Page by page, I was simply swarmed in the world of Bella Swan (the main character of Twilight, if you don't know). I started to feel her every emotion and began to visualize everything about her life from the novel. I went deeper and deeper and finally I fell in love with Jacob Black (who was deeply in love with Bella, but Bella only regarded him as her best friend and chose Edward instead. Owwhh..what a twisted love story).
I was in love with Jacob Black that I even read all the 4 books for more than three times and repeat my favourite parts over and over again. I was so in love with Jacob Black and I also began to fall for Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob Black in the Twilight movies. And now Taylor Lautner face become the wallpaper of my handphone.
So, you see, that was the reason I avoid reading romantic novels. I will be emotionally involved with the story and the characters and it would take some time for me to detach. I would live in a daydream for a few weeks before I can bend down and touch the reality again. I avoid reading romantic novels because it will make real life feel so dull and uninteresting.
So...weeks after that, I seemed to get over Bella Swan and Jacob Black (not Taylor Lautner though) and my dear friend, opened up to me via her dropbox e-book novels from Judith McNaught, John Grisham and a few others. The last time I read Judith McNaught was many many years ago, during my college days. But seeing her novels in the dropbox, my heart go all swooning. I used to love Judith McNaught's...
And there I go again...page after page...novel after novel.....and I went into the imaginary world of "everlasting love" and "happy ever after"..... [sigh]
It has been a few days now. I started to cool off and stopped daydreaming. I will not read Judith McNaught's ever again...not?? [you bet!! Ahaks!!]
