Books ...

I love books. Ebooks and print. Hardbacks or paperbacks, as long as they are books, I love them ... I may choose some over others but if I find an interesting read, I get addicted. Too bad you can't finish reading every book on the planet. I think then, life would be so much easier to really... and I mean, really understand.
Books make you understand the people and the world ... Since you can't live everywhere, books help you live everywhere ...
You get to have new experiences at the comfort of your sofa ... Its like music, you get to live as a different person and delve into your own world. I don't know if everyone feels like I do but Its orgasmic ...
Its my cocaine, my adrenaline, my addiction.
I have never been on drugs, infact I have never set eyes on real drugs but if how I feel when I'm high feels the same to those guys, then I can totally relate ... only that my addiction has never killed anyone ...
Now, there are those of us who love movies ... I do too ... but if we were to compare "Harry Porter or Lord of the Rings" the books and the movies ... You'd see where the movies fail to capture the actual story ...
I'm a microbiologist by profession ... Have worked in  a lab then got sucked into agriculture... which I find boring to say the least but I aim to work in a high end lab where I get  to toy with Bacteria and Viruses ... Its my passion ... That's why starting today,I wanna start my own Microbiology Book collection, preferrably Print.
I've realised that you can waste your life doing something that just doesn't work for you ... The  problem with most of us, is that we are too scared to leave our comfort zones ... Life is an adventure really and as Steve Jobbs puts it, find your passion and you'll never work a day your whole life ... Books? How do they come in here? They helped me find out what I was passionate about ...
I wanted to be a doctor so bad but I realized that the part of talking to patients is not very thrilling especially when breaking bad news ... I'd rather be a researcher ... the person behind the trials...

Er... Change of plans : Medicine rules for me, microbiology is just an added advantage. It was 2014 when I wrote this, now 2016 and I don't think I am changing my dream job anytime soon. That was fear talking, this right now, is courage.
