The favorite friends I have since I've entered my mid-to-late 20s are the friends who read. It sounds boring and (maybe?) lonely. But honestly, they are the friends who I really have the most to share with. Don't end a sentence with a preposition. by the way.

The older I get the more time I spend reading. I was sick for the last week and a half , and I finished 4 1/2 books! Sounds anti-social, but I'm not at all. I love spending time with friends, but is there anything more relaxing than ending a day with a book right before you fall asleep? One of my New Years Resolutions is to start a book list of everything I've read, and make it into a list (so I don't read the same Hunter Thompson book twice.) I feel like reading a book is a personal experience, and all those friends like Ashley that make thoughtful suggestions, help create personal experiences. Remember that part in that novel that _____?!

It wasn't until after college, when I finally wasn't forced to read 248,208,334 books that I fell back in love with reading. I'm continuously ecstatic that I have friends that know that feeling, too. Nerd? Mmmmmmaybe. Was I a little sad when Hunter Thompson and Kurt Vonnegut died within year of each other? Yes. Two favorite authors I'll never meet. But I'm always on the hunt for a good book if you have a suggestion.
