I Want to Get Rich Fast

There are at least 52 books online with my name on it

Buying books and actually reading them are two different hobbies. You can have hundreds of books and still have read only two of them. Some people won’t even read that two books but love the full-length bookcases with beautiful books with rich colours and beautiful designs.

In older times, if you were rich, a beautiful library is a must. That is what would make the girl fall in love with the rude guy. If he has a library, he can't be that bad — the thought going in their minds.

The moment I say this, I am again looking at the books sitting on my nightstand at the bottom of the pile, waiting for me to read them. But the moment I finish with the ones on the top, I add other books, and the one on the bottom stays at the bottom.

Sometimes I feel they are staring at me and judging me, especially when I buy new books and read them while they are still sitting there waiting to be read.

My TBR pile keeps increasing day by day, and I have so much work to do that reading has taken a setback. I still read every day but not so much that I feel satisfied. Though can you ever be satisfied with how much you read? The more I read, the more I want to…
