Why I read?
… I don’t know, why not? In such fast-paced world, reading is a way to slow down and think. As a Gen Z, being surrounded by technology really makes me feel overwhelmed. Reading is a way to escape from that. It’s like a meditation, but with a book.

My opinion on self-help books might be controversial, due to the fact that I don’t like them at all. To compare them with one thing, it’s like a fast food. It’s easy to find and consume, but for a long term, it’s not good for your health. I’m not saying that they are bad, but I think they are not for me.
A brand new Kobo Clara BW has just arrived. I’m so excited to read books on it.
