I'm an avid reader and I've read a lot. I've literally read thousands of books. No exaggeration! When I was young, I used to read everything which would come in my way. Newspapers, magazines, novels, books on history, religion, and even politics. Everything except poetry. Poetry has never been my cup of tea. I still read a lot, but now I skip some.

My house is so well built that when I go out, the temperature at my room falls by one degree in Celsius.. But when I come back to home and keep the door to my room closed. It will soon again rise back up to +17C! That's how much heat my body produces.
