I’m pretty much a book person.
Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy reading, studying and learning stuff online, but deep down, for me, nothing can beat a good book. Since times immemorial, I was reading everything that would fall in my hands: I knew how to read and write greek fluently even before elementary school, and I knew the basics of english too (a bit of self promotion, sorry). I’d read anything from encyclopedias to television manuals and cleaning fluids labels, anything at all.
I guess that’s why I was considered a boring nerd by other youngsters back then.
Today, after two years of earning some money through working and spending them on books, I find myself having too many books for my little bookcase. This shabby little thing contains everything from my trusty uni books, to recent amazon purchases, to french and italian textbooks and tons of paperbacks.
I think it’s time to clean it up a little. This can’t go on.
*sigh*
P.S. My recent gift to myself: Transcending CSS by Andy Clarke (genius book) and the adult edition of Harry Potter books 4 to 6, The Devil wears Prada and The Cell by Stephen King.

LoL LoL & LoL here I was thinking only I read the “TIDE” and “Kleenex” labels while in the bathroom as a kid
I have the same problem girl. I got two bookcases in the flat filled with books, two rows per shelve, as well as two 1.50m2 boxes from when i moved in and never bothered unpacking them.
Every time I get fed up and say I’m gonna clean them out, once I start I always find a book I haven’t read for years and end up reading that instead of clearing away. I just can’t throw books away [or anything for that matter]

You did that too, sweets? I’m not alone, thank God!
Who said anything about throwing books away? My mom gives me the relevant mini-lecture whenever I tell here I have no space left, but I dismiss her ASAP.

I love books. Cannot live without reading. I love how they feel, how they smell, the crisp paper and the sound each makes as you turn them. In short, everything about ‘em. On-line content is great but for me books will always be the reading medium of choice.
