Yes, absolutely. I like to nurture many hobbies, but one that I give most of my time to is reading. I really feel like a bookworm, and I love to read all the time, or whenever I can find some time from a busy schedule. The recent book that I read was *The Alchemist*, by one of my favorite authors, Paulo Coelho. And I really suggest it to other people. Uh, other than reading, I also like to sing and dance to the tunes.
