I Think You Often Have That Sense

I Actually Believe In Denial.

Reading Is Everything. Reading Makes Me Feel Like I've Accomplished Something, Learned Something, Become A Better Person. Reading Makes Me Smarter. Reading Gives Me Something To Talk About Later On. Reading Is The Unbelievably Healthy Way My Attention Deficit Disorder Medicates Itself. Reading Is Escape, And The Opposite Of Escape; It's A Way To Make Contact With Reality After A Day Of Making Things Up, And It's A Way Of Making Contact With Someone Else's Imagination After A Day That's All Too Real. Reading Is Grist. Reading Is Bliss.

... The State Of Rapture I Experience When I Read A Wonderful Book Is One Of The Main Reasons I Read; But It Doesn't Happen Every Time Or Even Every Other Time, And When It Does Happen, I Am Truly Beside Myself.

That's Another Thing About Being A Certain Age That I've Noticed: I Try As Much As Possible Not To Look In The Mirror.

All That Means Is That It Wasn't Personal To You. But It Was Personal To Me.
