Bookworm Giants

 


Let's wage war!

Light up your torches, clean your horses


Why must we have to have some form of enemies in this three-dimensional world?

Something is always contending with something, especially the good things.

This snag just had to creep into our bookish la la land.

You might have experienced the Goliath army of our bookish world (super annoying) and not recognized them.


Here's what they look like:

1. Too many books, so little time

This giant is brutish my friend, the books and the time ain't cordial. That's where you have a lot of books to read but the time keeps snitching.


2. Books are expensive

Bookish people know that books are investments but they can be quite costly. You can read books in libraries but owning your books comes with a price.


3. Buying too many books

Every bookshop calls your attention ( I catch some of you laughing here). You keep stacking your TBR and being anxious about the books you haven't read. Now the ratio of your reads to TBR looks something like 1:2 (that's a convincing giant).


4. Not knowing what to read next

I get this sometimes, you recognize this too huh?


5. Distractions

Here a little, there a little. These ones are cunning, they don't look all fiery. Your best friend, video games, favorite tv show, your cute little puppy, and the other things you probably know are giants in disguise.


6. Book hangovers

The case of wanting to know how the book will end and not wanting it to end at all. This often happens after reading a great book, the book leaves you so much in awe that you become reluctant to pick another book. 


Pick your battles, and share with us the giants we didn't share, or just tell us how you've been fighting the ones mentioned above.

An Asset?

 Long ago, in a faraway land called Sumer near the Persian Gulf, the city was known as the cradle of civilization.  When their businesses began to bloom such that the administration and calculations of trade numbers or purchases could no longer be done by memory, causing a drag in their mode of operations. This disruption motivated a creative Sumerian to create a solution to the problem which brought about the art of writing. Writing was introduced to the system primarily for record-keeping. Although writing started with symbols (pictograph) and inscriptions on local materials such as clay and reeds. Writing evolved into a sophisticated script called the cuneiform which was used to record information about bureaucracy and authority, and other aspects of life. These were mostly written on scrolls. Imagine what the world would have been without the collection of events or experiences... Just imagine They would be no history, memories, shreds of evidence of the past, and of cours...
