Thread Name: How hooked are you?
Subject: RE: How hooked are you?
Well, I'm doomed. 25/26 on that LA quiz. Add to that the fact that I cannot go ANYWHERE, not even from one room to another, without a "security book" in hand. I once read parts of Hamlet by the flashing lights while waiting for a cop to finish writing a ticket. I read an average of three books a day while pregnant (what the hell else is there to do on bed rest?), and my toddler son prefers reading to any other activity (17 months old and already pointing out letters; a future abuser!).

A friend and I once got jobs at AT&T together, because we could be paid to read whole books on the late shift. How sad is that?

How about the fact that if there is nothing new left to read in the house, I will read my entire collection over again and again? And I secretly love the times when I am home alone, because I can read while I eat! AAAAAHHHH! Where do I check into therapy?
