people who read

I can't imagine not having reading as a part of my life. Whenever I go to the library I borrow 6 or 7 books, and read them all in the span of a week or two. I have a very short attention span, so I keep a book in my purse. If I have to wait for something for any reason, I like to have something to read. So my appetite for books is pretty voracious. Besides, books impart knowledge, and I like to be a knowledgeable person.

I go through phases. I love reading, but sometimes have a hard time finding the time to do it. Also, I am very picky about what I read, so I won't read just anything. I like to feel like I've spent my time well or taken something valuable away from a book, so I select my reading material carefully.

I am still an avid reader. I was the oddball in my class, always picking up a book and not minding the english assignments where we had to read a novel or such. I still go to the library once or twice a week and check out books and devour them quickly. I even listen to books on tape when I take long trips because music gets so repititous.
