Premisis: I've just graduated from college, which means for the past 4.5 years, I've spent the majority of my time trying to avoid reading books as much as possible. It's sad the see my much beloved childhood pastime just strewn aside. But, I shall do that no more! December 18, 2010 didn't just mark the day I finished college, it marked the day of my attempts to become a bookworm yet again!
