My Oldest Love

I guess you could say I was one of those kids who always had her nose in a book. I love stories; that much hasn't changed, but due to the influx of television channels and countless shows, the attention span to sit and read through a good book has left me. I miss the days when I had so much free time that I could devote many hours of the day to just reading.
I fully intend to get back to my roots and abandon television for books again, but my family is making it very difficult by constantly inviting me to watch captivating shows with them. Damn you, Family! You should be promoting reading not television watching!
