From a Successful English reader
"I started reading the book The Kite Runner.... I should confess now while I was reading it I wasn't aware of the time totally. Four or five hours passed in a blink of an eye for me.
I actually carry two or three books or magazines with myself when I go out and go at work. I work in a pharmacy and I try to read even in the gaps between two patients. Reading and listening are the integral parts of my life. They are like brushing my teeth, taking my meals and other necessary tasks everyone does in a single day." (S.V., Iran)
