The exclusive interview

Well, this is it! The interview with my father. The topic is..."Do you read?" I will be talking about some questions asked to him and what are the answers. However, first thing first, my father does read. And here, we will get to know more about his current book and what genres of book interest him.

Me: What is the title of the book that you are reading? Why are you reading it?

Dad: The Best I Could by Subhas Anandan. This book is about the famous lawyer, Subhas, on his life stories and his encounter with many murder and well known cases in Singapore. This thus allows one to get into deeper relation with the cases and open out the many mystery in one's thought.

Me: What are the criterions you use to select a book title?

Dad: It must be a story which deals with real life stories as it is easier to understand the thoughts and circumstances of the character.

Me: Do you think it is more important to read for leisure than for work?

Dad: Leisure. It is important that one read for his interest and for and leisure so as to relax and enjoy rather than reading unwillingly.

Me: If your shelf caught fire, which book will you take?

Dad: The best that I could. This book is my current favourite.

Me: Which author does you like the most?

Dad: I do not really have one. I’m a free lance reader.

Me: When do you usually read books? Why do you choose that particular time?

Dad: When I’m in the MRT returning from work. It’s a good use of time to read and that is also the one of the free time I have to read.

Me: After reading a book, do you gain any special knowledge or insights?

Dad: Yes, definitely. I have learnt to take difficulties in life more cheerfully as the characters in the book were able to solve problems much more complex than my life obstacles.
