Home Away From Home

I might have a problem. It could be that I am addicted to books. Buying books, reading books, looking for another good book. Talking about books. Writing about books. I had a few minutes to kill tonight. I might have killed those minutes and some money here. To be honest, it was not my fault. My grandson needed a book. If I buy him one, I need to get his sister one. While I was there it would have been ridiculous not to buy a book (or two) for me. The thing is, the books I have been reading lately have not been exciting. I felt like I needed something light, fun. A feel good book.
Who am I kidding. I am going to admit it. As Dr. Phil says, own it. I have a problem. I am a bookaholic. Step one, admit there is a problem. Done. Deep breath and relax. I feel better already.
You know what I should do, go to Amazon.com and see if there are any self-help books to get me through the tough part. That's what I'll do. It is not really like buying a fun book to read. It would almost be like buying a school book. Step Two try not to buy a new book, unless it is something I really, really need.
Good. I am on the road to recovery now. I think I will get off the computer and read one of the books I already bought. Do not worry. I can go weeks without buying a book and still have plenty to write about.

I feel sick knowing I even considered stepping back from books. Seriously, I was drinking last night. Had a couple with dinner. I blame the alcohol. I'm fine today. My books are not a problem. We're all good.
