vegetariansushi: That is so us!!! I know I said I'd go to bed, and I'm on my way, but I had to read a few pages. I just had to post this! :D

"She read upon waking, sitting on the toilet, stretching out in the backseat of the car. When she went to the movies she took a book with her, to read before the show began, and it was no unusual to find her standing in front of the microwave, with a book in one hand and a fork in the other, heating a cup of noodle soup while she read, say At Lady Molly's for the third time (she was a sucker for series and linked novels). If there was nothing else she would consume all the magazines and newspapers in the house - reading, to her, was a kind of pyromania - and when these ran out she would reach for insurance brochures, hotel prospectuses and product warranties, advertising circulars, sheets of coupons."
- Michael Chabon, Wonder Boys

HEE! That's totally us, man. I have books and magazines hidden in the bathroom so that even if there's company, I can steal a few minutes and read. I suspect that some of my relatives think that I have bladder problems.

I always carry a book with me. Anywhere I go, really. I don't read before a movie, bacause I go there with friends and rather talk, but I do read during commercial breaks on TV. It's just something I do. Because, mmm, books. I always have a book in the bathroom.

Heee- neat trick. I have to try that bathroom thingy the next time I have relatives over. ;)

Actually, I was reading the passage I quoted while brushing my teeth. :D
