I have this eternal, internal fight... Is it better to read all the books I crave...or are books making me miss out on real life experiences? My other problem is, I will never read all the books I want to in my short life time. Do any of you feel the same way or am I just being paranoid or have some anxiety problem...?? lol
I often feel the exact same way! I love to read, and I find myself wanting to stay home from social outings because I'd rather curl up with my current book. Maybe I AM missing out on some experiences... but hey, I'm a hedonist, so I try to do what I want. And if I happen to WANT to stay home with my book, then so be it! I also get sad about not getting to read everything that I want to read before I die. Bu thinking about that has finally allowed me to put down bad books instead of reading them till the bitter (and often disappointing) end.
