My most favorite pasttime is reading but not just reading anything of course. My bookshelf mostly consists of fiction of the more obvious genres, that is, fantasy, sci-fi. Why these particular ones is obvious. My life is pretty much boring, which is my own fault entirely. I'm not the type of person who would do something for the sake of doing it. You'd need to poke, prod and push me before I do anything that's overly exciting and seemingly life-threatening. In short, I don't live life on-the-edge. I'm more of the wake-me-up-when-you're-all-done-okay type. Which all boils down to the problem of boring.
What my books give me is an escape from reality. I've been to the bottom of the sea and the center of the earth, Jules Verne took me there last weekend. I have real working time machine, H.G.Wells gave me one a few birthdays ago. I've been to places full of wondrous creatures that will never be heard or seen in this planet. I've seen empires rise and fall in the blink of an eye. I've fought invading hordes singlehandedly and live to tell my story. I've personally seen the goodness of good and the evilness of evil. I've destroyed countless worlds with my death ray for no apparently good reason. All in all, not too shabby for a day's adventure I'd say. And to think that I did all that while sitting down too. ^_^
