Hmmm, maybe I'm just getting sick to death of books, I dunno. I used to be such an avid reader. Now books make me cringe some days. Today's one. I'm glad I didn't decide to be a sex therapist.
Shazza, where are you from originally? I vaguely remember as a child (hailing from the West Coast) that we referred to all soft drinks as "Coke," but later on that shifted to "pop." "Soda" was an East Coast word when I was a child; so was "sneakers." We, in the west, wore "tennis shoes."
As much as I do love books, I can see where you're coming from. A couple of days ago I was thinking about how small my life feels; I'd like to travel, I wish I could produce some work of literature or art, I'd like to connect more with people (my comfort zone is me, myself, and I), I'd like to do...something bigger, I guess. But what do I do? I read other people's lives, real or imaginary, and other people's philosophies and ideas. Where are mine? Where's my life? Books...they're great...but they're not enough.
