Have you ever bought a book and felt guilty for not reading it?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes. This is the story of my life. However as an author, I don’t feel too bad anymore cause I know the author of the book would like me to read it, but be just as happy with the dollar I just gave him. As for those types of instruction books, I still feel guilty, but have come to accept that I have a hard time leaning anything, or being taught, so I try to put it out of my mind. It works… sometimes.
