Book addiction

Hi, My name is Etta and I am addicted to books. I haven't really watched tv in two weeks. I feel clueless about the news, who shot who, and what the President said yesterday. It is great! Of course, I won't keep it up. I have still watched the Biggest Loser on the DVR. And my fav show "In Treatment" is starting up again so I will watch that too. So, I have shifted to a more 'mindful watching' mode. I choose what I want to watch, watch it, fast forward through commercials, and then turn it off. No more noise. I didn't realize how much noise tv creates.

Back to my addition, I have been reading vampire books. Not the Twilight series- I read those a year ago and liked them. But the Charlaine Harris "Sookie Stackhouse" series. They are a little on the slutty side. But the characters are so interesting, and I can't really predict what is going to happen next! I inhaled 8 books in a little over a week. I had no control whatsoever. Now I am sad. I miss the characters. I usually don't re-read the same books over and over. There have only been a few in my lifetime that I have been able to completely re-read. Well, because I love these characters I have re-read the entire series. Oh yeah, and as I get older I find myself re-reading some books because I don't remember them! Ha! It's a whole new world of reading :)

Now I am on the hunt for a new book again. I read a few samples of Anne Rice. Whoa! Evil stuff. She is the Toni Morrison of vampire books. I needed a map and a character list to get through the few chapters I read. I think I will go back and read Edgar Sawtelle.
