Feeding my habit
Right now I'm reading so much and in such a manner that it could almost be decribed as obsessive compulsive.

Is this normal for any of you:

I have to have at least one book on the go.
I have to have one spare for when the current one is done.
I read far too late into the night, and wake up early so I can read more.
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]House [/color][color=black]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.

Re: Feeding my habit
i know what you mean..
Sometimes i wish i have time for just read.
Sometimes i can afford to go to the park and read 50 pages in one sit. I enjoy so much go to take a cofee and just read my book..

if the book is good that becomes my priority of activity for my spare time.
Good thing i can always "socialize" with my dog while reading!

Seriously, there is never enough books.. I really don't like people that don't read but i guess is a really loner hobbie.

I love when i just dive in my couch and the book is so great that you are done in 2 days.. you don't even sleep.. Nothing wrong with the book obsession.
