Nemat's Reading reminded me, through out the reading, of the beginning of the movie Matilda. She is obsessed with reading, enjoying every word of it, to the point of making it a priority. Selling her things, such as her blue pencil box and smelly eraser, and living without, as an example her milk, all in order to expand her understanding of books. She even states reading has helped relationship with her mother. "A couple times every night, my mother opened the door of my bedroom to see what I was doing and smiled when she found me reading. In a way, books had saved us both." Using it to escape becoming entranced in the book reading it over even a second time. I myself have a greatly different view of love for books, though I enjoy reading as well, I do not have a passion such as hers.
I read a considerable amount less then Nemat does. Usually one book a year, if that, and one time for about a decade. I remember the story plot for the most part, if I enjoy the reading, making it impossible for me to reread the book until I have completely forgotten every detail the book holds. Never could I repeat as Nemat does so often in her free time. I have to say I am truthfully astonished by her compassion for books and novels. One book a week seems to much for me, a college student, to read at a continuous pattern. Though I am not currently reading a novel, this writing has inspired me to start reading a book that i have not touched for many years.
