... it'd be cheaper than an addiction to books when you live 8 hours away from the nearest book store. And you haven't been to THAT one in two years...
Long story short: there was an intervention and so I had to leave some dear friends behind. Actually... I'm only assuming the books would have become good friends as I didn't get a chance to read them.
**Please note that the following is a severe dramaization due to my incredible hyperness of finally getting a 'fix' of new books...**
It was horrible! They would dangle two books off the shelf over top of a fire and make me leap over the flames to save one, but not the other! They dropped my new possible friends by HALF!! It was like a nightmare made real because when I'd run for the fire extinguisher it would move farther and farther away and I couldn't save the books!! And then!! It got worse! There was a REALLY hot guy (and hot guys never notice me... or I scare them away... depends on your perception I guess) and he said hi to me and I said hi to him and then noticed that one of my favorite authors was on one shelf over and the books that I was trying to find by her were there and I totally ignored him and ... and that's becoming a very annoying run on sentence isn't it.
Anyhoo... the cashier looked ready to laugh his rear off at me because even with the admittedly dramatized intervention I STILL had an arm load of books that I could barely carry...
I should call VISA and tell them to automatically decline any purchase from a book store or book store website...
But then I'd be the one jittering outside the store asking random people if they could please spare me a quarter so that I can feed my addiction and they'll all think I'm some kind of weird spaced out *chooses not to name anything* and throw stuff at me and then I'll turn into that weird cat lady that lives in the cardboard box outside fo Chapters.
Another run-on sentence. I should just go read my books...

I love reading. If I could, I'd live at the book store.

If the internet didn't exist, I'd be reading more than I sleep. Which is not a lot... but you get the point.

Heh- yeah. I am addicted to reading in general. Me and book stores.. I'm seriously not allowed in walking distance with my mother unless its a special occasion and I have at least fifty dollars of gift certificates.
I thought I could handle working at a book store.. then I had a dream about it and I kept reading the back of the books I would check out and then I would be like: Oh, I'm sorry, miss. I can't let you buy this book because I HAVENT READ IT YET and I would shove it under the counter and scare the customers away and then just sit and read books instead of working.. It was scary.
T___T My mom used to freaking box up my books and take them away when I got in trouble was a kid. She would make me go outside and amuse my little brother.. THATS how addicted to books I am..
Edit: XDD I love the poll return, guys. Shows how much of addicts WE are.

Hi. My name's Annie, and I'm a book-aholic.
Granted, it's the second thing that sucks more money out of my paycheck (after gas for the car, but that's only once every two or three weeks). And almost every book I own has been read at least twice.
I haven't done much reading lately, though. School keeps me busy reading other things emo

Yeah, I'm totally adicted to books. My problem is that I don't have enough money to fund my addiction xp . Sometimes I talk my Mom into getting me a few, but that's rare. Most of the people I know look at me like I've got two heads because I read so much. Yep, I've re-read my books so many times I have them half memorized.

It's got ED in it. I love Ed.
And haha, I can recite the first chapter of Harry Potter One from memory! And several quotes.
And that's just the books I read, not to say anything about the ones I WRITE.

When I was in grade three I had a grade twelve reading level... which meant the Reading badge was a gimme when I was in scouts...
In grade four I got in trouble and had to sit in the corner and stare at a wall while people read the first chapter of The Hobbit out loud...
I got sent to the office when I started correcting pronounciation but got sidetracked by the library
I wasn't allowed outside for morning recess for a week and had to do math instead... I hate math.
It was totally worth it.
Now I spend a lot of time NOT reading... but when I do pick up a book I have to be careful because that's all I'll do until I'm finished it... and then, since i'm in the mood.... etc ad infinitum... is that right? Ad Infinitum?
