The degrading interest in reading

Dulu saya sangat suka membaca buku. Walaupun mostly buku cerita dan lebih kepada mysteries and adventure, tapi pokok pangkalnya saya sangat gemar membaca. Buku cerita yang dibeli selalunya mampu dihabiskan dalam masa sehari. Dan selalunya saya akan membeli lebih daripada sebuah buku cerita. Hasilnya, berkotak-kotak buku di rumah adalah buku milik saya.

But, now it's a different story. Books are less amusing now. I still read them but not to the extent of having a book in 2-3 days. You name it. English or Malay novels, they do not entertain me like they used to. It's not that the books are not good. It's just me. With this degrading interest in reading books, I am afraid I will surely fall into the category--> people who read a book in a year. [Or is it a page?] I don't know.

I've bought two books. One was recommended by my nephew and the other one was a book that I bought out of my curiousity. With a lot of information in Wiki, of course. I bought them since like....umm....March[?]. But for the Malay novel (the recommended one), I think I'm reading page 10 right now and for the English novel...I think I'm stuck at page 16. *sigh*

This is not a good sign. Not at all. With the situation I am now [that requires a lot of reading], this is baaaaad! But somehow, can't help it. Seriously. uuuu.....zen me ban?

And the books are:
Tombiruo-->Ramlee Awang Murshid
The Day of the Jackal-->Frederick Forsyth
