A good book is like a best friend. You can get absorbed it it's life and trials, get comfort from reading familar passages. Its there when you're having a bad day, or in need of escaping the day to day humdrum. Some girls love shoes, some girls love handbag. I'm absolutely addicted and in love with books! So many varieties and styles, characters, series, authors and languages.
I've got a few friends who seem somewhat confused by my reading hobby and there are days when I really don't know quite how to explain it to them. I think it takes another bookworm to truly understand the reasons and the comfort reading can give. Sure you can give reasons in a list, but could they really get it? Imagine slipping into a hot shower after a long hard day or cracking open a cold beverage when the temperatures outside are skyrocketing? got that image? good. Now take that first sip, the refreshing wave, usually followed with a sigh - now thats how comforting feeling reading can feel to a bookworm.
There's nothing I love better than exploring a library, searching for good book suggestions online, and connecting with other book lovers around the world. In fact my poor darling husband has done well putting up with my book addiction over the years, and has even graciously agreed that when we get around to building our own home together, I can have my own library!
Anyway I hope that helped with a little insight into the wonderful world of bookworms :)
