I have problem with reading. My entire work comes to a standstill as I cannot seem to keep a book down till I finish the last page. Do you have the same problem?

My partner calls me the bookworm as once I have got into a book I can't put it down. I have to keep reading, and it is often difficult to find a place in a book where I can stop. It's always just one more chapter for me

Oh I'm the same way with a book. If it's good once I get started I want to finish it. I often finish books within a day or less depending on the size of the book. Just how I am. I've never been able to put one down once I get started.

I was a voracious reader when I was growing up. Yes, I have experienced staying up late until the wee hours of the morning trying to finish a book. I have burnt several dinners because I got too engrossed with a book. I have gone to work, bleary eyed and tired, because I have stayed up all night trying to read a book. I have the house turned into a mess because I used up my day-off reading a book. It was a joke in the house, when my mother suggested that I should become a nurse, that if I ever choose that profession, I would probably kill my patients because I would be too busy reading a book. LOL! Now, I don't do that much reading anymore, because of another new pasttime, the internet. Now I'm staying up late surfing on the net, now I'm burning dinners because I'm too busy answering emails, now the laundry don't get done because I'm too busy posting on my lot....and so on....You got the point. (LOL!)

Yes. If I start reading an interesting book I will stop reading when I am tired. However, I find myself wakening up during the night and thinking about the book. Then I just have to start reading it again until I finish it. I should really start reading in the mornings so that my sleep won't be disturbed.

I had that problem until I had my baby now I hardly open a book unless it is a book chosen by my daughter!
