My hobby is to read books. I like to read books everywhere – at home, at the institute, but mostly in the bus on my way home or to the institute. If I want to read a book I always remember that some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed (глотать), and some few to be chewed (об­думывать) and digested. I also know well that there is a great difference between the eager man who wants to read a book, and the tired man who wants a book to read.
