Booki-ish Things

I'm in love with books. 

Yes. 

I recently saw a movie.  All about books.  Which makes me love them more. 

When I was younger (and even sometimes still) whenever I would go to the library (or a bookstore, or the bookmobile, or just look at my bookshelves, or open a book, or think about a book....) I used to get the most amazing feeling in my heart.  Tight, warm, exhilerating, knee-shaking, adrenaline. 

Yes.  I love books.  Love the smell of them.  Love the way they feel.  Love the fact that black and white letters, all the same, marching in order disguise Adventure.  I love diving into them, all alone.
