Hello, my name is Dharma and I'm a book-a-holic. 

I am addicted to books.  I know that I'm addicted to books.  I can't leave a bookstore empty handed.  I can't even visit Amazon or Half dot com without placing an order for something. 

I read constantly.  If I didn't leave the house to go to work, I'm sure that I'd be quite happy to spend all day reading.  I have learned how to cook and clean with a book in my hand and my eyes on the page.  I read over breakfast and lunch, I read over dinner and before bed.  I make sure I have my book in my briefcase before I leave for work in the morning.  I read at the doctor's office, I even read whilst I'm laying flat on my back in traction at the therapy clinic.

I read almost anything.  I'm not much of a literary snob - wait, I am.  I don't (won't, can't) read Danielle Steele or romances with Fabio-esque men on the cover.  But apart from that, I'll read just about anything.  If it has pages and a binding, I'm attracted to it.  My bookshelves are full; I need to purchase another one to accomodate the tomes I've accumulated.

I love thrift store and yard sales where I can buy books for a dime or a quarter apiece.  I love that Amazon has used books for sale, because it means I can get more bang for my buck (so to speak).  I don't mind if the pages of the books are dog-eared or highlighted, that just means that someone else has gained enjoyment from the story or information held within. I don't even mind if the cover is tatty as long as the pages are all there.

Yes, I am a book-a-holic.  Are you?
