Their siren sung swirled around the hunger in my heart. Within and without, I was compelled to touch them. Just one touch, one look, one wistful glance ( Read more... )

Good:) I hoped SOMEONE would get it.

And until I wrote it, I didn't realize...I mean, some was intentional but yeah, apparently I am...VERY affectionate towards books.

It was a strange thing to realize.

*laugh* I know exactly what you mean. There's just something about the feel of the ink on the paper, the scent of a new book ....

We have over 1000 books here and I don't see how people can not enjoy curling up with one.

Oooh! I love the relation between a good book and sex! And the feeling of deprivation and almost resentment b/c school keeps us from pursuing what we really want to read. I can so relate! P.

It's hard not to resent something that keeps you from the enjoyment in life:)

Glad to know you could relate to this:)

Actually I am taking 2 literature classes so I am "allowed" to read some fiction.

This was actually an entry about the end of last semester:)

But yes, I am making myself take my vitamins first.

I was trying to think of a new way to taking "Breaking the Fast" and I realized one of the hardest things for me to fast from is fiction. Somehow it came out full of innuendo though, LOL

Oh, I get this excited about reading too. I get all squeeful when something is just amazing! Nicely done. :) And glad to see you back!

Thanks so much, it's nice to be missed:)

Yes, something new to read excites me so much. I'm not sure most people understand that though. Through reading, I get to "live so many lives" that I will never otherwise experience.

Glad you could relate:)

I'm so in love with new books, always have been. And being a lifelong reader is really what made me a writer too. Both are good ways to live those other lives!

Ha! I can relate to this. I should be working and/or studying, and instead I am drawn to the shinies....*sigh*

*hugs you warmly* I hope you're having a good week.

The pull can be almost irresistible, can't it? I can't imagine your schedule though. I admire that you juggle so much and manage to keep going!

Thanks for your kind words:)
