Hello guys, here’s a fun post to liven your mood and engage in quick banter.

Reading has been the core of our life, whether it is books, magazines, blogs/articles and even posts on our social media feed. We usually belong either to the lazy or enthusiastic depending on our choices of reading, personal habits and needs. So, though we have independent views on our reading choices, we follow distinct reading styles. Here’s my different take on it.


Saint – loves privacy

During my school days, I followed this regime of being a Saint while reading. My mind hovered around what the character would go through, the possible twist in the plot. There were times where I had return the book to the  library in a week’s time.

I became this crazy girl who was in the mission to complete the book end to end amidst the schedule of homework, assignments, play time and studies. I didn’t want to ruin the whole scene in my head if I left it incomplete.

I continue to be saint atleast with my reading habit (Lol) and have binged read many fiction books like Paul Coelho books,Harry Potter series to a name a few.

Many of my friends who aren’t voracious readers like me belong to this category of Followers. You will find them reading all types of genres like fiction, financial tips, self growth and biographies.

They also prefer reading classic collections only if they are truly mesmerized by the whole series.

Frog- A reading juggler

These readers usually enthusiastically buy/ borrow a buy to read, but generally end up procrastinating or have a change in their mood. You are the one who went to bookstore and loved the book and read a few pages. But, skip to the contents and read a few chapters.

From then on, you will engross yourself with movies, work and sleep but haven’t resumed reading. These readers also have 2-3 books on their desk because they haven’t yet made up their mind.

You have a thought “Oh, I have a book on the topic” but choose to read articles, listen to podcasts but actually the book itself.

Mouse – Nibbles on important things

Look, not all the genres excite or interest us, right? So, we try to nibble on few topics outside of our comfort zone as the subject may be trending, creatively curated by the social media and offer a lot of scope in terms of wealth, job opportunities, socio-economic developments.

Digital guru –  audiobooks, podcasts on different gen
