I love to read. It happens to be one of my favorite pastimes. I will forever be loyal to paper versions of books. There is something about the smell and feel of a book in your hand, especially old books. I don't know if I would ever be happy reading off a Kindle or something of the sort, it's just not the same. Yes, those things are very convenient, but I love owning hard copies of books. Books are something I collect too. I hate letting people borrow books because I'm insanely careful about keeping books in excellent condition. I have two copies of almost every Harry Potter book for that very reason, I read them so much that I don't want my special copies to get too much wear and tear. I'm a little bit crazy, shh.
I have been reading since I was about five years old, and I mean real reading. I was already reading easy books before then. My reading level has always been higher than average. In elementary school I was reading five levels above everyone else (a perk of being home-schooled in my early years). I have conquered books in a single day that most people would take weeks to read (Pride and Prejudice, for example). I truly adore literature. I do, however, get burned out sometimes and will go months, or sometimes over a year, without picking up a novel. It is more likely to happen after just finishing another re-read of the HP series, because after those books, it's hard to find much else immediately appealing.
Can you tell I love me some HP???
