Yes, it’s definitely me, too, apart from the Kindle thing – as far as I’m concerned if it doesn’t feel like a book and it doesn’t smell like a book, it’s NOT a book!

I too 'suffer' this affliction. I do not restrict myself to just books...I've been known to wrestle the cereal box from my childs hands just to read the back for a 'quick fix'. If it's got printing on it- I'll read it... As a homeschool Mom it was easy to hide my addiction... for it was all related to educating my 5 children. Now that I only have two left at home it's getting more & more difficult to pretend the vast volumes & stacks of books I bring into the house (as well as the unrestricted amounts of information pouring out of my printer...) are solely to educate the twins. Anyone remember the movie Short Circuit...? I'm like Johnny 5- Need More Input!! I think my family is considering an intervention... Great post!

Just yesterday I panicked when I got down to ZERO credits on Paperback Swap. I felt like a crack addict looking for a lost fix when I was digging in my attic for more books to put up! :P These are great!

I remember being very little and driving Grandma crazy with constant begging for her to "read me story, read me a story"! There were certain books that I loved the look and feel of and remember the pictures and subject of to this day. As I got older, it only got worse. I also begged my mom, grandma, uncles, and anyone who would listen to teach me to read long before I started kindergarten; but of course they did not think they were qualified to do that. I was highly disappointed when I went to kindergarten and we did not immediately start learning to read. But first and second grade, now that was the stuffing in the Oreo! I was nearsighted by the time I was in fourth grade. I have a lot of books, but lately I've been good about picking some out to get rid of...its just very difficult for me to actually finally release them. I will though, I promise.
