efore i come to the point;

It’s not always easy to pick up any book and start reading it. There is an intense pre-reading phase. Starting with a long gaze at the book cover so as to see whether it fits in the Instagram aesthetic metre, then moving onto YouTube recommendation videos for that book, and now since I conveniently shift my attention to get the dopamine dose from video content, in no time I find myself enjoying flying beast vlogs. After ghosting the book for a while now, I will pick it up again and read a few pages, lose interest, and keep it aside, and then hours later, or may be the next day, I will finally reach a consensus on reading it entirely.

Speaking of one of my current challenges out of the zillion others, for me it’s not about just reading a book, I dissect the book entirely by taking notes with pen/pencil (depending on how expensive the book is), i will underline best lines- write my own little ramblings around the book (just in case the author needs my opinion), i will also write my own thoughts and highlight the new words for my vocab ( as if i am going to come back again to refer it). all of this lasts until i lose my pen somewhere else, at which point i have no access to pen/pencil in my immediate surrounding plus i am too sluggish to look for one, Also, by this stage, I’ve become so engaged in the book that I need to finish it as much as possible before falling asleep.

Another day- i will again find the pen and resume my reading, Now comes the point where i flip back considerable amount of pages which has left without the underlines and highlights, IT HURTS!

It hurts when i think of the best lines that could not get underlined, that had so much potential to reach to an Instagram post or a temp story, those lines that i thought would be best to win an argument, or those new words which i could have casually used in front of my friends or in any chat to impress the other person on screen. and now i hold zero memory of where those lines and words are in the book, i flip back pages in sheer panic but I can’t find one; I try to discover some of the pages I thought I must have folded, but it’s too late!

Now comes the last episode of this long write-up; THE FINAL CALL- it always boils down to these two options 1) if its a fiction book then i have to finish it since i am at cliffhanger and don’t have time to sob over this petty issue 2) if its a non fiction then i will definitely call my old friend whose name is Procrastination and make a fake promise that i will re-read the non-underlined pages again-take notes and finish it. we all know what happens next!

I hope you liked it!
