To the reader in me

I am not particularly fond of classics or books that spew romance or nameless adventure of any kind. 

But if I pick a book I have the patience to read it all. Consume. Acknowledge what the author is portraying. 

I have been able to do this without any thought. But once I named it, once I put a statement that I can do this. I am unable to anymore. Is this some psychological limitation I wonder? 

But up until now, I have started many a books and they have been kept aside. I will take it as a duty to read them well. 

The reason I am writing now about this concerned topic is my speculation that I may not be a usual reader. I am not the one that reads and preaches. I am not the one that reads and gives criticism. I am not reading for information. I read to understand. I read for pleasure. I read for the feel it gives me when I read something worth reading. Of course that means pleasure but in multiple sense. 

I find it welcoming when I understand what the writer is trying to convey. As long as I get the intensions of the writer and it is within acceptable range. I will read.

There are times when I can't keep a book down. That another form of pleasure I seek. The escape from reality to the fantasy world of the creator. I am not in it. I am not the protagonist. I am just a spectator, but I am an avid spectator in this case.   

Another form of pleasure is where there is loads of easy consumable knowledge. One of a kind, or the odd kind maybe?  It is interesting to know the secrets of the world. The workings of it. The thoughts of the writer who can almost draw your life out on the pages without meeting you. or the one who might be interesting on their own. 

Why am I writing about myself anyway? It is for my own pleasure. I realized, that is how I do things. I keep a book down if it no longer pleases me. Or I don't understand it.

Books, in my opinion are an entity devoid of the beings present. They are an amalgamation of imagination drafted into words. They may or may not contain truth. They may or may not come into being. Irrespective of that they keep us hanging, turning pages, mesmerizing. 

I may or may not write anything as such. But I hope to be contended as an avid reader. 

[Ps I may be influenced, definitely infact by "kakegurui". Which is why "pleasure" is in play in this blog.]
