My Reading Endeavour

I still remember the first time I got hooked on a book.  It was Enid Blyton's "Fairy Stories".  I clearly remember that the book was a birthday present for my eldest sister and I was only five then.  My sister was 17 by then and in her mindset, reading Enid Blyton was not for her age group.  She didn't bother much when I took her birthday present into the confines of my room and slowly peeled a page at a time to unfold all the mystical creatures of pixies, fairies, goblins and leprechauns.  I was hooked!

From that first book, everything else was history.  I went on to read one book after another and moved from fairy tales to biographies throughout my years as a kid to being a teenager.

Now, as an adult and an English Language Teacher in a predominantly mandarin speaking state of Johor, Malaysia, I hope to encourage budding readers or even, to give reading enthusiasts a place and venue in which we could come together to read and share our views about books and the love for reading.
