Hell No in my case!
As a kid I never use to read any books even my text books I was a below average student grown up compelled to read and study ended up mugging everything. Never felt I enjoyed reading. Also the very nice stories in the schooling text books of tomsawyer the hound of bask....I never liked them.All my schooling i didnot understand the concept of books and one should read them only for marks and not for any knowledge.
In my intermediate days it was worst i never touched a fiction or nonfiction novel and reg text books depended entirely on test papers academy books etc. I started to read text books for the first time with my interest and realized i donot find any difference in scoring the marks if i read the entire chapter or not. Like most of us I used shortcuts.
In the beginning of engineering days I started to see ppl show off carrying novels and reading them in buses, discussing, etc. I was lil depressed I picked up a few books and started to read I felt nice I could talk a few topics more now I realized atleast i can grab the attention!
I felt nice in the beginning...types of books really interested me was personality development, etc books. I enjoyed the knowledge that i was getting. I read lot of books I collected any book which had key words positive, attitude, personality, etc.
After few days....
I got a break from reading and time went by then i realized these books were nice to read but implementing is rather difficult or I was not convinced with the results of the implementation may be it did not convince me enough to get attached to it..or may it did not inspire me.
Then I realized 'books are not for me'. Funny thing id music on the other hand is something the entire world revolves around it. I prefer music to books.
All my Life I have met lots of people who told me about their life experiences or incidents, life experiences that inspired me. Talking one-one and speaking emotionally and honestly from their heart connects well very well and more than that it convinces me more than books and anything else. May be it convinces me because I know the person personally( unlike some stranger in the form of author). Honesty (unlike author i am not sure if hez a genuine package), emotional attachment(which i miss with the author i am reading)
Note: Most of the books i read were of non-fiction type and personality development, PMA kinds.
hahaha.... woww, nice one venu.... You should have kept a warning as a heading..... "KEEP AWAY FROM THESE BOOKS.... They suck big time"
