Reading

In the past week, I have read two books for my book lovers club. I love to read and I read quickly, but I cannot control my reading time. I always read longer than I should, and it then cuts into time I should be doing something else. It results in some serious procrastination for doing minutes, working on taxes, and of course, housecleaning.
I would go to the library every Friday when I was in elementary school and carry home as many (or often, more) than I could hold in my arms. I woke up at about 5:30 am, reading until it was time to wake my father up at 7 a.m. I mostly read Dewey Decimal 921., or biographies. As I grew older, I still liked to read, but, in order to manage the time and not be so compelled to keep reading, I began reading the last chapter to see what happened. Then I could read the rest and not have to find out the ending; it kind of took the pressure of the "needing to know" now. The last book I remember staying up and reading straight through to the end was "Kane and Abel".
I admire people that can read a book in manageable amounts of time or have several going at once. It requires much more self control than I must have.
