Ok, I just have to say that with the passing of another day and the beginning of a new book, Twilight has been increasingly on my mind. Maybe I'm starting to understand the hype a little more. Like a fine wine, Twilight's bouquet, if you will, seems to grow more alluring as time passes. With each passing chapter in the book I just started, I keep thinking, "I kind of wish I was reading the next Twilight book instead". Now don't get me wrong - all of the things that irked me still stand, and it's grade definitely still stands as a B+. But there is just something about that book that is staying in my mind. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that for two days the majority of my hours was spent in this alternate world and now I'm going through a little bit of withdrawal. Ok - that is TOTALLY it. I've uncovered the secret. This book compels you to read it quickly, and then, like any good heroin addict who has just experienced some crazy two day mind-altering high, the return back to normal life leaves you twitchy and nervous. Until you can get your next fix. I am SO going to finish you Notes on a Small Island in a matter of days so I can get my next fix! Well, I've just revealed myself as an addict to reading. That's embarassing.
I'm not quite sure if this deserved it's own salon post, and I very well may just delete this in a couple of days, but I thought it was an interesting development and should be reported for everyone's short term benefit.

Haha. Thats too good... a reading addiction... now that opens a whole new can of worms! I can see it now... a satirical article with photos of all of us in a book (opium?) den... or desperately begging book nook for another hit but sadly out of credit... etc. etc. Let's see how far we can take it... not to mention it really is a legit problem-I suffer daily lol. We could campaign and pick our own awareness ribbons. Mmm-mm. Oh the possibilities.
Who do you think we could get to be the face of our organization? Sally Struthers is taken...
LeVar Burton would OBVIOUSLY be the face of a reading addiction group. Reading Rainbow, hello?
Oy Vay... LeVar! :) Thats an excellent idea! Not to mention it makes for a ribbon color that would lend itself heartily to misunderstanding lol. We'd have to explain that it's not a 'pride' thing... we have a very serious addiction. To books. lol
Le Var Burton would be perfection.
