After the End
You’ve just reached the end of a book . . . what do you do now? Savor and muse over the book? Dive right into the next one? Go take the dog for a walk, the kids to the park, before even thinking about the next book you’re going to read? What? (Obviously, there can be more than one answer, here–a book with a cliff-hanger is going to engender different reactions than a serene, stand-alone, but you get the idea!)
It’s been far too long since I answered one of the BTT questions myself, which, you know, is pretty silly since I’m the one asking them in the first place.
So, me? Simple. When I hit the end of a book I plunge full-steam ahead into the next one. I mean, it’s pretty clear that I have a reading addiction, right? You could probably call me a chain-reader. Even when I finish a book at bedtime, I still need to find another book to read before I can go to sleep, so it’s ready to go. As I move around the house, I always have a book with me, so it’s available at a moment’s notice. The only time I really pause between books? When I can’t find just the right one to “click.” I call that being “Bookless,” and it’s a tragic thing (sniffle).

i’m a diver as well. and i dive no matter where i’m reading, lol. i have a book in the bedroom and the bathroom. i also have audio books in the living room and the car. the only place i have trouble with being bookless is in the car. i try to remember to grab one when i hit the last cd, but don’t always, and sometimes end up without *shudder*
and, when i finish the bedroom book, the bathroom book rotates into the bedroom, and i start a new one in the bathroom. that way i don’t end up with the same book in the bathroom for months, lol.

i forgot, i’ve also got a book in my knitting bag for those situations where i can’t knit (i can’t knit while i’m eating, but i can read!) that one is a book i own, so that i don’t have to worry about due dates.

I am rarely bookless. I have even made my family drive out of the way (across Maui!) to visit a bookstore if I may run out of books.
Bookless?!? Oh the horror!!!!

I like the idea of a chain reader, it describes me precisely.

And the next book is….
I must be unusual. Occasionally, I have to take a break from books. It doesn’t always last long, but it is almost always connected to problems I may be having.
