No !! This is not easy !! Not Happening !!
Hmm … don’t get confused friends… I am talking about my reading habit, which I am trying to save. It’s not as easy as I expected. I will tell you why….
I started reading ” The God Of Small Things” on 09 July . Now, it’s 17th July. So, it has been more than one week since I started reading that 339 pages book. I am at 177th page now. 8th of 21 chapters of the book. 22 pages a day, average !!.
That is really bad. I have a book waiting with 589 pages next to me. I need to read more books. I need to read more fast. I need to READ !!
What is happening with me ? It’s simple. I will tell you how I am reading this book …… Gmail > Book > Orkut > Book > Google Reader > Blog Comment > Book > Chat > Book > Dinner > Book ….
I know I am not going to finish it very soon if I am doing like this !! But, I am not going to give up this time. I will still read, and try to read more each day. ( Sounds easy but you know how tough it is .. right ? )
I will update you all when I finish … reading it … and one more thing .. I remember Poonam asking me about the next book … It is .. “ The Last Temptation of Christ “ by Nikos Kazantzakis,

lol,took a book on monday and i finished only 100 something(will be reading more before sleeping)…ya i agree we don’t have time to read…btw everything else…
@ Vishesh
Yes, you are right …. we have enough time for everything else .. but not to read
I was reading “Strange but true” yesterday till 1 AM and I almost finished the book. Just few pages left.
But hey its ok if you are slow enough. Atleast you are reading right! So there’s no probs. You can’t do everything at once… so its ok… slow and steady wins the race..
@ Joel
Haaa good
you are reading too ….
I am staying awake till 1 Am or 2 … but not reading much .. I really need to read more re
chill! dont panic.
if you are not glued to the book it means that you are not finding it interesting.
Dont let your desperation rule your actions.
My last book was A Thousand Splendid Suns. I did not start any other book for a long time now.
@ Xylene
The thing is, I am very much interested in the book and I really want to read it ..
Dont panic. Look at me!! I have started “The Kite Runner” a while ago…. I don’t remember when, and I have just started
nothing else 
So chill and blog…I mean read!!!
@ Suda
Yea Yea …. you know what, If I was not blogging about this, I think I would have stopped it by now ..
you guys make me stick to reading now 
thanks
I have not read this book, how is it coming along?
@ Poonam
Tough to follow .. at times .. since it has some Kerala touch, I can enjoy it .. hmm then most important : the language .. the style .. VERY unique …….
I guess you should read a book continuously without any breaks. Then you can read more. Guess it should be
Gmail > Orkut > Google Reader > Blog Comment > Chat > Dinner > Book

@ Amit

@ Rekha
Let me check
Nice one
I am reading ‘Shantaram’ for the last 6 months…only 933 pages.
@ Rahul
6 months ? ooh that can be world record ?
@ Rahul
Yea, Yea !!! Let me know if they add you there LOL
he he happens …
for me too sometimes ..
@ Arvind
Yea… sometimes right. . for me most of the times
Hehehe… I can understand… You’ve got a readers’ block!
Sit with the book one day and focus on reading it and don’t get yourself distracted… Read the whole day and don’t get up from your seat except for a bathroom break… This is how I deal with it… I force myself to read it.. Because it’s very easy to lose the interest in reading a book and it’s quite disastrous when that happens…
@ Nikhil
Readers Block !!!!
Yea yea … force it … read it for the entire day ?
