In which I talk films and books...

I've always been fond of films and television shows. Growing up, I was exposed to many things offered to me by my parents or the media. Some things were intentional, like the childish cartoon shows and animated Disney films that any other parent would show to their children. However, some were accidentally stumbled upon and frankly inappropriate to be seen by a seven year old kid.

I will never forget that time when I started digging through some VHS tapes on the restricted section (#suchrebel) in the deeper, darker parts of the bottom shelf and found "Ghost"by Jerry Zucker, starring Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze. It was not the first film I watched, but it was the first non-kiddy film that I thoroughly enjoyed as kid. From then on, my interest for films, TV shows and things happening on-screen started growing as I keep indulging myself in various types of films.



Now, books are a different story. I didn't grow up as a reader. Sure, there were picture books and story books but I guess those weren't influential enough to get me to be a bookworm as a kid. I wasn't introduced a Harry Potter book by my parents (yes, I haven't read them yet please don't murder me) and the only book I've probably only been asked to read was the Holy Bible and even that, I haven't finished yet (or will ever?)

Believe it or not, the first proper book I've read was Twilight. I was happy to finally read something legit in terms of well, being an inexperienced reader. In all honesty, I didn't even properly read the thing. There were so many words and it just bored me to death. Then I realized that I probably should have started somewhere else. Thankfully, my younger sister is one hell of a bookworm and bought ALL of the "A Series of Unfortunate Events" book series by Lemony Snicket. I'd read them after she'd be done with them and that's how I slowly got sucked into this wonderful world of books. And so, the urge to explore the world of book has become unstoppable that it ended to this.

My books and sister's books



Movies, TV shows and books are three of my passions and I think it would be nice to go in depth and share my perspectives on this particular thing that I've watched or read sooooooo yeah, I hope this blog post isn't too long.
