Reading has always been an integral part of my life. Yes, i love books and more than that, i love to share the joy of reading with my friends and the little ones in my life. A good read is often more satisfying than just playing with toys or electronic games and i'm a strong believer in that. That's one of the reasons why i do not own a handheld electronic gameset such as PSP or Nintendo DS List; i rather hold a good read in my hands anytime.
I also strongly believe that good reading habits has to be cultivated from young and children should try to spend more time reading rather than playing games. It helps them to develop a better command of the language and also increase the creativity of their minds when they start to picture what the author is trying to describe through words.
I'm not against playing games especially if they are educational ones that allows development both internally and externally. Instead, most of the times, children are often seen with games that does not help in developing love, kindness or intellectually. That's the main reason why i usually buy the little ones, novels and books rather than toys or games once they reach a certain age.
There's a MPH Warehouse Sale over the weekend, lots of good bargains and i came home satisfied with 2 full bags of books. Among them, i have Chronicles of Narnia, Marley & Me, Transformers - The Veiled Threat and Heroes - Saving Charlie. The rest are children's reads that i intend to give to the little ones such as High School Musical 3, Winnie the Pooh, O'clock Stories by Enid Blyton. There's also some colouring and fun activity books for the really "little" ones. =)
