According to the Wikipedia, a HOBBY is a spare-time recreational pursuit. If I’m going to follow this definition then definitely, reading and books would top the list and followed closely by blogging... LOL...
I also got into this collection hobby... collecting a very simple thing... Key Chains! But simple as it is, the hobby goes beyond simply collecting the things.
