a friend of mine bought me the road to makkah by muhammad asad. it was suggested i read it. for the past 3 or 4 days i've been eyeing it from across the room. i'm not intimidated by reading. i just can't get started on stuff. because i know i won't finish it in one sitting i feel like i won't enjoy it. this has been farthest from the truth in experience but i have some sort of mental block when it comes to trying to get myself to read for pleasure. i just don't understand it. i would rather take that time out to socialize with people and if i need alone time i would rather sleep [what else are you supposed to do alone? oh wait. pray. ok so pray as well] anyway so i broke down and started reading it and then couldn't put it down for the next few hours. i haven't finished it but so far it's excellent and i recommend it. i'm no book reviewer so that's all i got. deal
