Nerd alert!

A friend of mine teased me at one time that I was so near-sighted that looking into my eyeglasses was like looking into the Hubble telescope.  My prescription was so bad and I was so near-sighted that anyone with good vision could probably read the future if they put my glasses on.  I blame my bad eyesight on books.  Yup.  Books.  Love em.  I love reading books.  Yeah I know.  What a nerd. 

Before wonderful Kindle was invented, I used to buy books.  Before I used to buy books, I went to the library.  Yup.  The library.  I was about 12 or 13 years old then and every Saturday I would drag my stepfather to the library.  I would go straight to the paperback section and load up my bag full of books about fantasy, science fiction, and romance.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  Alan Dean Foster. Terry Brooks.  Kathleen Woodiwiss.  (sigh)  I would always bring home two grocery bags full of paperbacks when we get home.  These aren't small bags by any means.  I'm talking about two hefty sized paper bags.  At any rate, I would go home, go to my bedroom, shut the door, lay on my bed, and read until the early morning hours.  I remember my mom telling me to go to bed.  I remember pretending to be asleep and sneakily turning on my bedside lamp so that I can continue reading my treasured books.  Cut to today, I haven't stopped reading.  Only all my books are now stored in my awesome Kindle Fire.Any way you look at it, it's better than storing them in boxes.
