My passion is reading. I’ve loved doing this ever since I was a little boy, and still do, at my age. The local library was one of my favorite places thanks to its peaceful atmoshpere that allowed me to read in peace, and the fact that it had such a large collection of books to choose from. Unfortunately, nothing good ever lasts, and the library was closed due to lack of funds, and no plans have been made to open another one.

There was nothing I could do to stop this, and I was left with finding a new peaceful place in which to do my reading. The local park seemed appropriate, and I found a nice little place away from the regular paths, and no people seem to come by here. I was very happy with my find, and decided to come back the next day, with a good book, to see how it works out.

It was in fact too good to be true, as I discovered the next day. The place was filled with kids running around playing and making reading impossible. Since I liked the spot so much, and so did the children, I decided to look for something to reduce the noise to the minimum and allow me to concentrate on my books.

Because I am an avid music listener as well, I decided the best option would be the purchase of an mp3 player, to listen to some classical music while I’m reading. I opted for the SanDisk Sansa e280 , and have not regretted my choice even once. The small player is perfect for my needs, and I can relax and read in peace, while using it.

Acutally, I’ve started liking it so much that I don’t even have a book with me when going to my “reading” place. I just stay there listening to music and watching the children play. That’s really something for me, because, in the past, I would have never left home without a book in my bag.
