Bookshelf

I'm addicted to books. Sometimes I think it is solely the smell and feel of the pages that I love so much. Although, half the intrigue of books is the wonder of it all. What lies behind the cover... black text pressed into the paper, revealing another world. Tears. Happiness. Revenge. Betrayal. Good. Evil. They draw you in until you feel as one with the characters. To close a book is to close a friend. However, with books you can place them on the shelf, coming back to them whenever you wish. I'm not too sure how many friends you can place upon a shelf until it's convenient to pick them back up.
