Ever since I was a kid, reading is really not my hobby. When I was on my learning age, I read books just because I needed to or it's about one of my favorite fairy tales. I usually look at the pictures first then turn the next page ignoring the story itself. I hate books that doesn't include pictures in it - it's way to boring for me. And I as I grew up, I still get bored to books.
I am generally not much of a bookworm. I would just look at the book, check the number of pages then leave it. I easily get bored and even just reading the first chapter would make me sleepy. I don't know why, but books makes me feel drowsy. It works like a sleeping pill to me!
There are certain things that I consider when choosing a book. One is the cover page. Yeah I know, don't judge the book by its cover but I can't stand it but ignore books with lame covers! Next is the title. It's my preference to read a book with a good title. I really don't care about the author maybe because I only know a few authors but I essentially look forward to the story instead. Another thing is how the words are written. Books such as the Twilight series make the readers like it because it got sensible lines that's striking for the readers. Its an element that made me like the book. And of course the story. I'm kinda interested with stories that are investigative like Nancy Drew, funny and it got a little romance in it. I'm looking for books that will keep me reading. Books that make me imagine that I'm into a different world, or something like the characters seem to be real living inside my imagination.
There are times that I really get interested in a book for such weird reason, that I can't put it down until I'm done. I would sulk in my room and start reading it and I would even forget to have my meal! I can even finish a 400 paged-book for only a day. I call it "an unusual illness", something that happens rarely.
So, If you ask me again if I'm a bookworm? Not quite. It just depends if I needed to read it or if it really interests me.
