Lucky 7!

I went mad shopping for books today! I told myself I will only buy one book, but I ended up walking out with one bag! I spent more than an hour choosing which books to buy and luckily 6 books caught my heart. They are mostly history books which are written in a different fashion. I never learned history when I was growing up due to two reasons: (1) I hated simple narration of facts and (2) my teachers never told the story in an interesting way. Because of these, I appear oblivious to the world. But I am aim to cope with this ignorance by looking at history in a difference lens! I was specifically very euphoric to find a book written by Tom Standage. I had a chat with the bookstore personnel and was very happy she also likes him. She told me there is another book he authored which is due to arrive next week and that she would give me a ring when it's available. So in reality, I have/will have 7 new books. Lucky 7! I can't tell you how happy I am to see these books on my table. I badly needed to buy these because I realized some nights I find myself staring at the wall before I retire to bed. I mean, only crazy people stares blankly at the wall, right? Then it occurred to me that the reason why I was staring at the wall was because I had no book to read. These 7 books should be enough to keep me sane in the coming months.
