Bookworm

[moonwise]

When I was a kid, I read voraciously, and was always having one book or another taken away in class.

As I got older, I didn't read quite as much, and with the advent of the Internet, somehow the number of books I read a year fell off dramatically. It was bothersome - like I'd lost a talent.

On Friday after work, I went to Borders and picked up a copy of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," intending to make it last for a weekend.

It didn't last an hour and a half.

It was good to know that was still possible - to be so engrossed in a book that you can't stop reading even for dinner or a trip to the potty.

My reading didn't fall off per say- I just kept reading everything I owned over and over again. I bought a bunch of Star Trek books last week and I've been enjoying them immensely. After wasting my money on one of Laurell K. Hamilton's books it's refreshing to have a good read. Star Trek has yet to fail me in that department. Good to hear that you want to get back into reading. :D

Star Trek books are fun. I always liked the Peter David installments, because the man is a riot.

Did you see that LKH is a strong contender for Wanker of the Year? She may yet lose to Anne Rice, though, who feels that she is a good candidate to write a fictionalized Life of Jesus.
