Reading is my big passion! There have been times I've not been able to concentrate so much on it, but as a rule, how ever bad things are in the rest of my life, I can always hide in my book and escape to where ever the book is set.. For me it is a drug I guess.. if I don't have a good book lined up to read, my mood really suffers.. and when I've read a good book, I often get low after finishing it.
I also, and this is quite silly, get really jealoous of people who haven't read a book that I adored.. Like, "His Dark Materials" trilogy by Phillip Pullman.. I loved those books so so so much.. really the best books I have read in years and years, definately in my top 3 best ever books. They're "teen" fiction, but blow Harry Potter out of the water in my opinion!
When i find someone that hasn't read them, I get so jealous that they have such wonderful enjoyment ahead of them!! *l* Silly aint it!Finding a new author I enjoy is one of the biggest thrills I can have!! Like, I;ve recently discovered Haruki Murakami, and he has loads of books out, so that should keep me happy for a while!!
I just wish I wasn't so poorely this week.. the author of another of my top 3 books ("Snow Crash"), Neal Stephenson, did a signing in town at lunchtime today.. I'd have loved to meet him. But my husband went along and got our books by him signed!
Crumbs.. I can really wibble on when it comes to books!!
