Is reading a new hobby for me?

It is very obvious that the reading habit is slowly coming into my life.
I am very happy with it
I find that reading not only can improve my knowledge,
but i can find the pleasure and most importantly it can release my tension
Books never exist in my life since i was in primary school
I dont know the reason....
but may be it is too costly to buy a book
but in fact this is not the reason for me
I think the environment did not encourage me to hold a book
or because i saw the act of holding a book as an embarrassing act as
people would label you as a bookworm
Frankly speaking, i was regretted of not nurturing the habit since i was in primary and secondary school
I have too cared about the people's perception on me
and until now i still have this kind of shortcoming
I want to be myself from today onwards...
As American poet Henry David Thoreau had said,
in this life, we each walk to a different beat. WE each have our
own way and life principles;choose the one that is most comfortable
and fits best with your instinct and heart.
