A book is a device to ignite the imagination- Alan Bennett
 

                           Reading is something I used to do ardently when I was growing up. Encyclopedia's, cartoons, fiction etc were commonplace. I moved away from it thanks to all the "stuff" life threw at me and I ended up using the standard " I dont have time!" excuse.

                          But since last year I have made it a point to start going back to my roots of reading.  My reading effectively focuses on 4-5 main buckets: Fiction/light-reading, Fitness, Dance, Music, Photography and some general self-help/philosophy. Below is a list of books I am or have read segregated into specific groups. All of them are good reads, cause at the end of the day, they have ignited my imagination.
