I remember this book as one of my first books I had learned to read as a toddler. And by read, I mean memorized page for page, word for word. It was a cute children's picture book to teach kids about colors. A White Rabbit adventured from splashing into color after color, trying to determine which color was "right".

Now I rarely have time for books. Though I feel that now I have moved into the city and take the subway everyday for 20minutes, I could pick up a book instead of just rocking out to my iPod. The last book I read was a cheesy relationship book my sister had given me. I got about halfway through it in one sitting, got bored and never picked it back up. Prior to that, I started The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (Steig Larson), but put it down due to busy school and work schedule. I think I should go dig that book out of a box and finally get around to reading it. I've been avoiding watching the movie (dir, Niels Arden Oplev) until I read the book, supposed to be motivation to read it.
My reading now consists of newspaper headlines from people's paper's across from me on the subway, daily tumblr random news and big events updates (y'know, big social media updates, new internet sensations, memes, all that good stuff) and class readings. Rarely do I have time to devote time to reading anything longer than a paragraph. I'm about 6-months behind on reading Wired Magazine that I'm subscribed to, with the exception of few articles I read online. So here's a goal to myself: read a goddamn book!
