I think I dream alike
I too dream alike, but I ain't yet almost there or anywhere near there

Books are awesome
Hi,
I have always loved books. When I was a child, I read book after book from cover to cover while I dreamed about one day being the author of a book of my own.
My first book is now available for pre-release sales at bn.com, and should be in stores across America by February. I can hardly wait to walk into a book store and go over to the shelf and pick up a copy of something with my name on the cover.
It probably sounds corny. But hey, it's my dream and it's cool to know I'm almost there!!!

books are my life!!
I feel completely unwhole without a book to read! I MUST have one...any will do. I have been known in moments of utter desperation to fish out my old Enid Blyton books from my daughter's bookshelf JUST to have something to read. Consequently I have developed a wide range of genres I enjoy...from period pieces, to light-hearted modern tales, to psychological mysteries....probably my favourite. What they do for me is offer me total relaxation and escape from my daily hectic routine. I can think of no better way to spend a day than curled up with a book!

"Never judge a book by its cover";
this reminds me of;
never judge people by outward apperances.
Thanks for your visit.

Escape, respite, learning, entertainment. Books mean many things to me, and are very vital.

Like oxygen
Thomas Jefferson said it best: "I cannot live without books." I am SOOOO addicted to reading. My heart starts beating faster when I enter a room full of books. Paper is one of my favorite smells. Books ROCK!

Books mean reading material for those long trips to the bathroom. ;-)
For me, because I'm into fantasy, books are an escape from the drudgery of reality. I can lose myself in a made up world, much like when I was kid playing pretend.

All of the reasons you listed, except for the anger part. Rarely do I read a book that gets me upset. For the most part, I go for the self-help/motivational books. Especially the ones dealing with spirituality!
