Many students (and even teachers) say they don't have time to read. Well, I don't agree with that because I believe that, when you really like and want to read, you find some time. You can read a few minutes before you sleep, during your lunch time, when you're waiting for the bus, while you're on the bus/subway, on Sunday afternoon instead of watching TV (there's nothing to watch on Sundays), on a rainy holiday like today, when you're waiting for the doctor/dentist, and in many other places. Just take a book with you every time and you'll find plenty of time to read.
To prove you that, these are some of the books I've read this year, not considering the technical ones for the ICELT.
