All my spare time - and I really mean spare, this doesn't impinge on socializing, seeing my gf or anything - I'll be reading.
I fucking bet it isn't!
The great thing is, I'm getting through shitloads of books. On the downside, I'm struggling to choose new stuff, and I probably seem like a bit of a looper.
There's worse things to be obsessed with.

Eh, I don't know, books are a pretty good thing to be obsessed with.
I have three books on the go with me. Two in my back pack, [color=blue]

of leaves and
The Whore's Child and other stories by Richard Russo. One in the right cargo pocket of my shorts, a small paperback of
Slaughter House Five by Kurt Vonnegut along with my moleskin notebook. And one that I carry in either my right or left hand as I walk at the moment,
Wong Kar-Wai by Stephen Teo. [/color]
At home I have a mess of books that are piling over ontop of others on the book shelf. A few boxes full of books and then a stack of books near my bed side table of stuff I want to try and work into the rotation.
I spend most of my time at work reading and writing. And then as I'm going to bed each night I read for probably another hour or so depending on my level of intoxication if I had been out that evening.
books, books, and more books.
I have had to to force myself to stop frequenting the goodwill here in portland and buying more books since they're so cheap that I inevitably leave with more books that I should. But you can't go wrong with getting 3-5 decent paperbacks and hardbacks for under $10.
