I have bought more than 7 books online this semester but I haven't finish reading any one of them. Our teacher Ms. Chu also gave everyone of us a book (translation : Yesterday's Laborer, Today's Google Manager) in compensation for the meal she's not going to buy us (everybody complains), so I have a lot of books going on right now.
I buy books in which I believe I can find wisdoms or answers to my life or simply out of curiosity. I'm not a fast reader. When I find a sentence that means a lot to me, I stop and keep thinking about it. It's really a great transfornation that I start collecting books because all my life before I bought magazines or beauty books only(no wonder i'm this shallow today) For the first time in my life I realize I can be attracted to the power of words(not Word Power, i hate it), and i feel good about it.
Speaking of books, last weekend I bought my mom a cook book with pictures all looking tasty and healthy to me. I bought the book in name of mother's day celebration, but in fact I expect my mom to try the recipes so I can eat those, for I know nothing about cooking. Will my mom cook as delicious as those pictures seem to me? Fingers crossed.

I am a slow reader too and I don't like reading for too many words make me blackout. Usually I prefer pictures more than words but one time or another, I still can be impressed by a certain book.
So I know your feeling of realizing the power of words.
But I still have to say, word has its limits. We need to perform as what we read after all.
