uh-oh... Addiction to Reading and/or writting... it's the worse of all addictions because the only known cure is TV and Sex.... But if I must make the scarifice to save my friend, then so be it....
So if I'm apparently one too... does that mean we have to start up LAA (Literary Abusers Anonymous) meetings? Lol... we could have them at my house! :P
Yes, I know you look at me, aspiring undergrad aiming for a BMath, and you think, "No, not her. Surely not."
Appearances can be deceiving. I, too, am an abuser.
My peers speak of the latest poll on Slashdot, of graph theory, of induction. And I sit and follow and nod in all the right places, while all the while I am tugging at my bag, desperate to get away so that I can have just one more chapter before class. No one will know, right? Just one more chapter. One more.
It's never just one more, though. Never. The books. The reading. I can't stop.
*pets* There there. They have a program in the works: twelve steps to reduce your reading. It starts with Ulysses and moves down to 20-page paperbacks until the only reading you'll be doing is of cereal boxes. They can help.
