I do love the feel of the book in my hands when I read, but can see the convenience of going digital.Kristin Callenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451563912645829952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263745103864967456.post-36624298528712083502010-01-11T18:11:49.960-05:002010-01-11T18:11:49.960-05:00I am a reformed book addict.

I had books everywhere: stacks under the bed, stacks up against the wall, overflowing the bookshelves etc. My hubby wanted to sell them at a yard sell-until I threatened him with bodily harm-so we compromised and I boxed everything up into containers and they are in my garage....and in my storage unit. Now I purchase them through ereader...for my laptop and phone...so there is no 'evidence' of my madness! ;-) I enjoy the easier portability but I LIKE having books everywhere. I guess I come by it honestly. Like the responders, my mom was my first book pusher!CJ Gibsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11745101578592994505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263745103864967456.post-67033829135908902252010-01-11T14:02:10.556-05:002010-01-11T14:02:10.556-05:00Thanks Farrah for your comment. So your mom is you...Thanks Farrah for your comment. So your mom is your book pusher too. ;) It's great to have someone who reads and shares their books. I would have missed out on so many good reads if my mother wasn't a book addict. And yes, I have to admit that I am quickly becoming one myself.<br /><br />Thanks to you also Kimberly. I went through the classic phase myself. I've read Grapes of Wrath and a lot of Hemingway and Hawthorne. Great writers, each of them.<br /><br />Lately my nonfiction has been focused on memoirs, mostly by authors. But I am always open to finding new books.Kristin Callenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11451563912645829952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263745103864967456.post-88956344020101574332010-01-11T12:44:06.292-05:002010-01-11T12:44:06.292-05:00I consider myself a book addict and I'd say my...I consider myself a book addict and I'd say my husband has expanded my reading interests. I've mostly been one to read fiction and recently went through a phase of classic novels like Grapes of Wrath and I, Claudius but my husband has started me on some non-fiction reading. <br /><br />We are both runners and have gotten a good collection of books about running and particularly about ultra runners which are a whole different breed. I just finished Born to Run by Christopher MacDougall and enjoyed it immensely.Kimberly Aardalhttp://www.everydayrockingchairs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8263745103864967456.post-28296882954268634152010-01-10T18:04:26.587-05:002010-01-10T18:04:26.587-05:00I'd say I was the book addict!I have 2 bookshe...I'd say I was the book addict!I have 2 bookshelves in my bedroom and a huge one in the garage (I know, I know...NOT good for the books but where else can they go til I get my personal library?!) My husband hates it when I go to mom's because she ALWAYS buying knew books, reading them, and passing them along to me. Drives him INSANE!!!
