About me

Introduction	I am a bookaholic. As this has not yet been diagnosed as a "real" illness, like alcoholism or drug addiction, there is no quick fix to this problem. There are no support groups for people like us, so we have to make our own. Hungry for words, we scrounge around to find anything to read - books, newspapers, magazines, food labels. Thirst for knowledge is not always what drives us, but we do learn from our encounters with the written word. Lust, murder, mystery, romance, the paranormal, history - all call to us to visit again and again until the next time we swear to stop, even if just for a day. But alas, we cannot. We lay in our beds, yearning for a book fix, just one paragraph, just five minutes. Then we grab a book and read far into the night, falling asleep just before the alarm goes off to start another day. Okay, its not quite that bad... or is it?
