I need more reading!!!! - Dec. 20, 2023.

Recently, I've been feeling a bit stressed because I haven't had enough time to read. Reading is something I love and need to keep my mind calm and relaxed. I'm particularly fond of novels, especially those considered literature because they allow us to experience others' lives. While reading, I enjoy imagining the characters' emotions and learning about the myriad of thoughts and feelings from around the world, which I hadn't considered before. This broadens my perspective and stops me from thinking my views are always right.

My junior recently did a presentation on Russell Banks' The Sweet Hereafter. It reignited my desire to read. The book explores the complex emotions and conflicts of its characters. Understanding it might be challenging, but that's what makes reading so rewarding! I'm determined to find time to read more novels.
