Why does my husband not understand that books are not a luxury? They are a necessity, like prescribed medicines and bread. I must have my books. I must! Therefore, when he gets the credit card bill and sees what I’ve spent on books he should not read it as a charge for inconsequentials, but for my life’s blood. He should be happy I’m not off buying shoes or purses. That would be a much more expensive past time. Why does he not understand?
*screams and has dramatic breakdown*
No seriously, though, it’s damn hard to live with someone who is not A Reader. I’m doing all I can to ensure my daughter is A Reader. Then he’ll be outnumbered. *laugh of evilness*
In a bit of good news…I surpassed the halfway point on Witch Fury yesterday. I haven’t had a chance to write yet today (what a crazy day!), but my characters are about to come against a huge challenge. My fingers are literally itching to get at the keyboard. I can’t do that until I have a quiet house, however.
In yet other news, we picked the first first organic tomato off the vine two days ago and savored it sliced with a bit of salt. Yuuuum. So good. Summer is officially here.
Living with someone who is not a reader? 😮
Good luck, woman!
by azteclady June 24th, 2008 at 5:57 pmI feel the same way towards books Anya… they’re like a life force!!! Maybe that’s why I’m still single… I gotta find someone that can put up with my obsession. Ha ha!!!
by Rhonda aka SandDanz June 24th, 2008 at 8:49 pmOooh books… I sure can not live without them!!!! It is funny though… I hated reading as a kid, but when I turned 15 books slowly became my fav pastime!
by Colleen June 25th, 2008 at 9:29 amI’m A Reader, too. I must read everyday.
by Jane June 25th, 2008 at 12:47 pmI know what you mean, Anya. Haha, living on a student budget (oxymoron?) I think “I could either eat a meal… or buy a book.” Choices, choices :P. Luckily, as a student, I feel that a bag of microwave popcorn makes an excellent dinner 😉
