Rediscovering Libraries

When I lived in Boston, I had forgotten my love for library and books (I think it was mainly due to the fact that I lived in a very happening city so no need to curl up with a book because I was never lonely). Anyhow, after moving back to California and settling down in the suburbs, I rediscovered the advantages of a library.

There is a library 5 min drive from my place. I go every few weeks or so and get ~15 books per visit. I get mainly Chinese sci-fi books and I love this particular author in particular. He has vivid imagination and I have not yet gotten tired of his style just yet. Additionally, I am starting to read some of my other favorites: chick books. A dear friend once gave me a book that she had finished 'Shopaholics ties the knot' and I got HOOKED!! I love Sophie Kinsella's novels and could not get enough of it. However, I think I have finished all but one of her published books and I am still trying to find an author to replace her. I have tried Meg Cabot and Candace Bushnell and have enoyed their books. But - I must say - I LOVE Sophie Kinsella!! She just needs to write a lot more books to satisfy my appetite.

So - now that I am no longer living the city life, I have picked up reading again - and oh - thank goodness for the invention of the libraries where I can borrow many books at a time without a fee.
