I love books. I'm probably addicted to them.

Books were a wonderful escape when I was growing up. I was lucky to find a best friend who had similar interests and we would spend hours together, silently reading our separate books. There was no shortage of books in the house. They lived in every room, including the garage. The collection was a bit shy on children's books but full of everything else. To go from that to summers with a family that had nothing but a few Reader's Digest condensed books felt like I had been pulled out of the water and was gasping for air. Luckily my older cousins had Mad magazines so I found something to read besides the backs of cereal boxes.

My shelf has a large number of children's books, which I actually read as an adult while working in a teacher's supply store on slow nights. Maybe I was making up for lost time.

There are books scattered around the house with bookmarks in them. I have a very bad habit of having a large number of books going at once. Unless I become captured by a book that tends to happen. Literary ADD. « less
