Harry Potter And The Prisoner of Azkaban and the guilt

As I held the book in my hands, I couldn't foresee what was going to come. I was sure I would just read 50-60 pages and then get back to my work. Was I wrong? Way more than that.

I have been reading Harry Potter series for the first time and it was time to read book 3. But after reading it, even though I loved it, I am feeling guilty. Why?

Because I ignored everything else. I had to work and submit the work. But who cares about the job that pays my bills and helps me buy books? I had to post an article over here but who cares about the wonderful people who still keep coming to this ignored blog?

I won't say I don't care. I do and that's the biggest reason why I am feeling guilty for now. I hadn't wanted to read it so long and ignore everything else. Did I mention I missed the gym too? That was something very unacceptable. After reading 300+ pages in one go, I was extremely tired and wasn't able to work on anything after that.

This intensified my guilt and the feeling of sadness that crept over me even when I had completed reading a very fine book. 

Solution?

When you do something bad once, you always have the chance to make sure you don't do it again. That's what I am going to do. From now onwards, I am not going to read a book more than 1 hour a day. Yes, that's it. 

This might reduce the number of books I read or even make me fail in the 2015 book reading challenge on goodreads. But I am ready to face the consequences of my bad deeds. Are you?
