My Hobby
My passion is reading. I’ve loved doing this ever since I was a little boy, and still do, at my age. The local library was one of my favorite places thanks to its peaceful atmoshpere that allowed me to read in peace, and the fact that it had such a large collection of books to choose from. Unfortunately, nothing good ever lasts, and the library was closed due to lack of funds, and no plans have been made to open another one.
There was nothing I could do to stop this, and I was left with finding a new peaceful place in which to do my reading. The local park seemed appropriate, and I found a nice little place away from the regular paths, and no people seem to come by here. I was very happy with my find, and decided to come back the next day, with a good book, to see how it works out.
Unfortunately, when I returned, the place was filled with kids running around and playing. There was no way I could read in these conditions. But I also didn’t want to start looking for another spot, because I liked this one a lot. So I started looking for something to help reduce the background noise to a minimum.
Because I like listening to music almost as much as reading, I decided to get one of those small, portable mp3 players I’ve heard so much about. I read a Sansa e280 review and ended up getting that little mp3 player. I love it! It’s so small it fits into my pocket easily, and allows me to read without having to listen to the children playing around me.
In fact, I have been so pleased with it that sometimes I don’t even take a book with me, to my “reading” place, because I just want to listen to some music and watch he kids. I never used to leave home without a book. Who would have thought it possible?
