Books affect my moods something awful
When I get deep in the throes of reading, a couple of things happen -
1) I won't put the book down for any reason
2) I get very melancholy, slow, and crabby
I love to read, but I hate how dull and out of it it makes me when I get really involved in a book.

I won't put the book down either!! Many a late night, not fit for shootin' the next day. Ah, the good ol' days. Don't read so many books anymore. I think next winter I will start again.
