I do purchase books online, occasionally, but there is something about the scent of a bookstore, especially the small stores that are the purveyors of used books. Bookstores are my holy places, places where I can go and lose myself in the worship of the written word. I collect the works of the authors I love, and I am compulsive regarding finding new things to read.

I always have a book with me. I've ruined more than one purse trying to shove a book in it that's too big. I've gone through more book covers than purses even... I read at red lights, I read on lunch breaks, I read at my husband's bar.

I just went back to school, majoring in English, with a goal of obtaining a master's degree in education, so that I can share my obsession with others. *grins* Not that high school students in general are interested in my compulsion to read, but hopefully I can inspire a few to cultivate a love of books of their own.
