Take a look, its in a book, its Reading Rainbow.

Every book is always the same. I rush to fall into the lives of these fictional characters. Detaching myself from the world around me and become part of the book, living and breathing the characters.

I spend so many hours indulged in these books, and yet they always end the same way, with that mixed feeling of happiness and resentment that I read the book so fast and that it will soon be over.

I'm sitting here at work, about 20 pages from the end and I don't want it to end. Like a child begging for just five more minutes. It always amazes me how quickly I go through books. How many pages I can consume in only minutes, my eyes skilled and trained after many years of reading alone in my room as a child.

Maybe I was a bookworm, but what can I say, I'm addicted to the written world, its here that I can find a distraction from my life. And its one of the strongest bonds I hold with people. I like to think of books as "friendship bracelets" between a select few of my friends. It's a common ground, that is not the typical "we share the same favorite color" trend, but rather, we share an intellectual bond. Our own inside joke found in the pages that to some, are such a chore.
