Before I got my eReader I used booklights at night. (Also came in handy for my music stand for Midnight Mass). Spouse would sometimes complain about the light if he turned over. That was how I got my first one. A gift from a spouse who wanted to sleep while I read.

is not weird ! ... did i miss the weird ? i can't find it .

Me

stay in, snuggle into your pajamas, start reading your favorite book, with a cup of coffee. best night ever.

I don't even have this kind of friends who would suddenly call me to join a party. Ehehe ( But I prefer it this way, when I'm invited, they let me know in advance, so I can prepare and make the time)

Exactly.

i cannot even count how many times i did this, having good imagination is big bonus while reading

Love me some good conversation at a big party

Zoning out into a good book. Yeeesssssss

that dog it so cute though!

I honestly tune out more when reading a book than listening to music

How I measure time: "I'll be there in a chapter!!"

My mom always says I shut out the world when I read.

I relate to this so much!!! There would be a $25 shirt and I'd end up not buying it cuz I have more clothing. But then a good book? Hit me up

This comes across as incredibly insensitive. "My Struggle" is the book written by Hitler (The title in German is Mein Kampf). The fact that the character is thinking they could have bought six volumes of it while eating with a person of color makes it even worse.

Oh yes

I have books that are older than and totally usable. I worry that the electronic gadgets will be "updated" malware attacked etc and then my books will be unavailable. And yes i read the books i like much more than once.

Me. Too

I did this a lot at work and at school. Though I've joined the ebook team for that exact reason - much easier to carry around a small, lightweight device than a heavy, thick book.

yup!

I do this all the time - not just for books.

Yup. In the library, the shop. .... not at home.

Aw, cute kid. ^^;

That happened to me when I read ASOUE when I was 12. I read the whole thing in one week but I never forgot it

I read on average 5 books a week. Only three as soon as i finished them turned them over and started again. But all the books i buy and keep i read over and over. ( by Mercedes Lackey )

haha! I love her!

Lol it's not harassment because she's a woman

That... sounds like a really good book.

I know the feeling

me at barnes and noble

I need a guy like him. We shall be married in the morning

Every time *sigh*

I remember reading Garth Nix's Abhorsen Trilogy during a rough patch in my life. When I realized I was only a couple chapters away from the end I dreaded finishing the last book. I'm normally a fast reader but I dragged those last pages out for soo long because with everything else going on I just couldn't bear to say goodbye.

Never had this problem. My mom's friends didn't understand why she would buy me books like Dexter or A Song of Ice and Fire, but she thought it was more important that I was reading books and not wasting my time doing other stupid stuff.

I'll never forget the big slap my mother gave me upon discovering i was reading an age inappropriate book. I was 8 and it was a horror book. A decade later I have met the author, and told him about this. He laughed and expressed his hope it wasn't like this anymore. I was proud to tell him I've had all his books by that time!
