At the tender age of 10, V. Kiranyaah here has developed the habit of reading a book for two hours every day.
Fiction-based reading materials have been the Sekolah Kebangsaan Marian Convent pupil’s favourite since she was four years old.
Her deep interest in reading has made her set a record of borrowing 105 books from the Tun Razak Library here, last year.
“I will spend two hours every day, at noon or before bed to read after finishing my homework or doing revision. I can read 200 pages in just one hour.

A renowned poet, Mr Odia Ofeimun has said schools are at the receiving end of the distress in the book business.
Odia who was speaking on the World Book Day which holds today, told The PUNCH that the book world was in a bad stage in Nigeria.
Today is the 25th edition of World Book Day with the title, ‘Share A Story’.
Ofeimun added that the distress in the book world was not as a result of the coronavirus pandemic which shut down global activities, but due to high cost of printing materials and unaffordability of books.
