Good Books

Lately, I've been reading a bit.  I really like reading.  I think I tend to not read so much because I get so involved in books.  I tend to want to do nothing else.  I stay up all hours of the night, decline going out with friends, it's just not good for my social life.  So I get into reading these long books - 500, 800 pages.  Currently I'm into a series with 5 books - Children of the Promise.  They are so captivating.  I lose track of time.  I think it's a way to escape.  I don't know what I'm running away from, but I find myself wishing I could go back in time to be with the characters in the book.  I long to be there.  A few times last week I even sneaked down to Desert Book and read during my lunch hour.  Then I realized I could just bring my own book to work and read during lunch.  That gave me more time to read!
