Lucresiare

Yes Alex

PhoenixRising

That's a tough story to get through. I've seen a few movie versions of it. Never watched it all the way through because it was depressing.

Lucresiare

You should read the book. It is really well written. Have you read any of the books of her sister ?

BL.Arinna_1982

What book?

Lucresiare

Wuthering Heights from Emily Bronte.

PhoenixRising

No, I haven't, Barbara. Do you mean Charlotte Bronte, who wrote Jane Eyre? I don't ever have time to read books anymore like I used to.

Lucresiare

Yes Jane Eyre.
It is quite a good book too.
It is because you watch TV shows that you don't read anymore ?

PhoenixRising

No, it's mostly because of work. TV shows take less time. I once read a book from evening straight through to the following morning, but I rarely have time to do that anymore. I was living at my childhood home when I was doing the majority of my reading.

Lucresiare

TV shows take more time than we realise if you add all the episodes that we watch in one month.
I read mostly when I commute to work, and sometimes in my bed before sleeping. But I read much less than when I was a child since there wasn't internet and I didn't have a TV. I bless my parents for not having a TV in my childhood.

PhoenixRising

Oh, I'd love to have some time off to read. I'd take a long vacation and read a book to pass the time.

I had a TV growing up, but I also had a lot of books that I would read by myself. I credit my parents and my grandparents on my mother's side when it came to encouraging me to read as much as possible.

And I don't feel like reading lately.

PhoenixRising

How come, Arinna?

BL.Arinna_1982

I don't know. Nothing interesting around to read.

PhoenixRising

You read all the books I sent you, I guess?

BL.Arinna_1982

You know I like to read. And can you guess what I've watched last night? Yup, Cathy and Chris's story again.
