Because I feel the Thrill :D

At around 5, we learn to read, at around 10 we read to learn. At around 13, we/some stop reading. 

I was one of them.

I didn't grow in a print-rich environment, and reading wasn't the kind of thing I would love to do. Even required materials were seldom read. My literature class was enjoyable during discussions, but the reading part was not. First few pages were read, and the bookmark was kept in place for months. 

Until I met the Little Prince.

I was inspired, I felt young, refreshed and relaxed. I cried, I smiled, I dreamed. I fell in love. With the fox, the snake, the rose, the pilot. I was then introduced to Yellow and Stripe, and I felt that there was Hope for the Flowers. I fell in love again. With the caterpillars, the cocoon, the butterflies, the flowers. With them, I hoped.

Then I lost the interest. Again.

Bookmarks stayed where they were again. Months were counted to finally get to the end, if I got to actually reach the end. Some lent were sent back untouched. 

Until the 4th of July, when I met James Patterson. I was given a 2nd Chance, to be the 6th Target.

Through him, I solved crimes with the Women's Murder Club. I investigated and hunted the suspects with Lindsay Boxer, examined the victims' bodies, and looked for other traces of evidence with Claire Washburn, fought a fair trial with Yuki Castellano, and reported crimes with Cindy Thomas.

I was also brought to the Beach House, and fought with Jack Mullen in looking for Peter's murderer, and more than that, proving that he was murdered. I felt bad when he was left by Dana, felt disgusted and disappointed at how money can buy people and turn the entire justice system upside down, feared for Jack's friends' lives, saddened by the death of some pertinent, special, and innocent people, and felt hungry for justice and fair trial.

Then I found myself indulging into mystery/suspense/thriller books. I finally found my interest. One of my interests. 

................

I am no lawyer, neither am I a cop. I have no plans of going into solving crimes, or committing one. But I found my interest in reading through gruesome details, social issues, murders and the like. I love the mystery behind, the feeling of suspense and thrill as you are astonished by how things go, and to go round and round wanting more. 

Now,bookmarks don't stay where they are.
