Of course, there are some books that I have re-read (from previous years) and not all these books are intellectual types. So, been able to read a lot more... :D I have moved to the electronic form of book reading long ago... That is not to say that I don't buy physical books... I do... Only the ones that I want to keep with myself... :)Kapilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14191257694798984412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6711562421929222242.post-70708474681055768022016-11-04T00:13:42.174+05:302016-11-04T00:13:42.174+05:30Me too.

It becomes hard to take time out to read everyday. Kindle app at least gets some reading done.

I always would want to carry a book along while I go out and sip a cup of coffee.

I do agree that book challenges and the chats that happen on Twitter make me feel insecure at times and tend to promote a sense of competition. However, I strongly believe that reading must be done for pleasure and hence, it is acceptable to not be able to read all the books published. The idea that I have come to live with is just try to read the maximum in the chosen genres and I think we'll do fine. Books are certainly not obsolete and much as we devour stories, I think books will retain their importance with blogs and online content supporting it.
