I'm an ascaris bookworm

I've got lots of books...I buy books everytime..but each time I visit a bookstore, I can't find something great to read..No more historical novels, no more tragic love stories, no more to make me dreamy and ecstatic...Well, there are some on the shelves, but not as interesting as those I've read years ago..I'm also looking for some titles I know I wouldn't find in this small city..But I'm still hoping if not hopeful! Since I've got nothing else to read, I'm into movies now...Can anybody lend me books?? Or We'll just have a trade, then, to be fair..hahaha...

On literary criticism...I used to be good in critiquing literary pieces, but I'm very frustrated about a course I'm taking up now (Literary Criticism).

I think I'm losing my skill! Waah! Somebody save me! first, I was very good with comics, but later lost the talent. Then, I became a writer (a novelist, to be specific) but the craft is slowly ebbing away from my system! Guess what? My mouth is becoming a monster! eventually, it would numb my beautiful talented hands, and would rule over my life. Let's try to asses: I'm enjoying debates and talks nowadays, I'm doing student teaching, I frequently become the root of arguments, because of my bad mouth I tore relationships, and because of this mouth I spill everything!

Going back to books...
I need to read more! I'm hungry...I'm thirsty...
