Reading Now

I think Science Fiction is my favorite genre. It's also the genre that I'm the most critical of. Every time that I pick up a science fiction novel it's with a sense of excitement as well as trepidation.

So, this is what I'm reading now. A Science Fiction novel titled Leviathan Wakes. It has a whopping 592 pages and a good heft to it. With 3 days off from work this week I should be able to get through it in no time.

But, I'm wondering what genres everyone else prefers. And do you find yourself being the most critical of your favorite genre?

Bookaholic

I should not go to bookstores. Just like alcoholics should not visit the beer tent at the carnival. I'm a bookaholic. I've known it for awhile now. I own over a thousand books. The walls of my apartment are lined with bookcases and my brother refuses to help me move again unless I get rid of at least half of them. I spend more on books in a week than I do on food, and then I end up eating Ramen noodles because I can't afford to buy real food. I buy more books than I read. I feel the most relaxed when I am surrounded by books, they are my best friends. Today I went to Borders to buy one specific book. I ended up with nine books, and I had to force myself to leave before I picked up anymore. I'm not sure that this is an addiction that I want to give up. I can think of worse. But, since I have heard that the first step is acknowledging that you have a problem, my name is BookGirlR and I'm a bookaholic.
