Oh books, beautiful books

There’s not much I would not do for books. I am horribly addicted and honestly it is one of the few things my love and I fight about. I am an addict. I buy them secretly, hide them in my car and I have way too many I’ve not read. But I know what it is like to grow up not having “your own” books and living in Haiti where all you can find in English are Bibles, for a pagan I’ve spent way too much time in the Old Testament.

Anyway in my fight yesterday the word glutton was used and I can live with that. I think I have enough poetry now to read till the next ice age and it’s possible that once I start reviewing books I won’t love them as much. It could happen—that’s the statement that ended the fight so I am sticking to it:)
