now that i am all poor and living the life of an unambitious entrepreur, i’ve rediscovered the joy of the public libaray. it’s of great fortunate that i am only 1 block away from this institution and really, i must utilize it more without abandon. as much as i’ve fantasize about having a big collection of books i don’t think that is gonig to happen anything soon so i better get back in the habit of being child like again when it comes to being a libaray. i remember my wonderful childhood memories of how exciting it was for me to go to the libaray because i love books so much then. i remember reading so much when i was young (before high school) but since then it’s been such a chore. it’s all those text books and dry reading that shut down the joy of reading for sure. but i think that’s changing now. normally i am not much of a history reader but i think a book i got recently reflects the changing my attitude towards reading. allthough i thought it was going to be a difficult read, the fourteen dalai lamas (a scared legacy of reincarnation)., i’ve been up pass 1am reading the book for the last sevearl days. although it’s mostly an academic exercise in terms of straightfoward historical accounts, it’s still pretty inspiritional from a biographical perspective. I am still just reading about the first dalai lama but i am pretty sure i can finish this 500 pager! ah, the joys of mental stimulation.
