Many things embarrass me, but reading isn't one of them. I'm not ashamed of my slightly weird collection of prison memoirs. Nor the flaky meditation books. After all, I can pretend I never read those.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have given up reading books; I find it takes my mind off myself.
I've given up reading books. I find it takes my mind off myself.
There are books all around me... I don't read as much as I used to, but I always have a book or two going.
I bought myself a rubber brain, familiarized myself with its many parts, listened intently, and read more. In fact, I read obsessively, as my husband has told me repeatedly. He has even suggested that my rapacious reading resembles an addiction.
I read whatever is put in front of me. I gobble up books.
I never read. I've never read one book... I just can't do it. Something's wrong with me. I have what they call now is 'ADD,' like I'll read and all of a sudden I'll be thinking about shopping or... I'm not there. I drift off. I get crazy, so I don't even bother.
I consume an enormous number of books, but they're always on a particular subject because I'm obsessive.
There's something about each of my books that I'm really proud of, and there's something about each of my books that I cringe over.
I don't keep any copy of my books around... they would embarass me. When I finish writing my books, I kick them in the belly, and have done with them.
I'm ashamed to admit this, but I didn't read a novel all the way through until after high school. Blasphemy, I know. I'm an author now. Books and words are my world.
