I am an animagus -- I turn into a bookworm

Dec 29, 2009 18:09

No lie, I have been reading like it's my JOB for the past week and a half.  Maybe two and a half weeks, actually.  All I know is, once you put me on holiday, the books come out.  I'll read a book a day, generally.  I'm talking at least 325 pages.  I do almost nothing but read, and read, and read.  I stay up late to read "one" more chapter, and then spend at least the first hour of consciousness reading.  I think this must be in answer to the novel deprivation I suffer during the semester.  When I was younger, I read all the time.  I won an award when I was 12 for reading 83 books over the course of the school year -- no re-reads, and most of them decent-sized.  Now that I'm in college... oof.  I'll manage to read MAYBE three novels a semester, depending on their size, and those are often in single-weekend (or even single DAY) gulps.  So when I'm finally on an extended break, it's like I turn into a bookworm that has been starved of paper.  I'm actually in a bit of a pickle right now because I've finished my library books and need to get something new.  I would really like to re-read Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but of course our copy has disappeared.

And I just had some MASSIVE deja vu.
