Can I say something now? Now that I feel like saying something?

*I feel like explaining why I am reading both "Eat Pray Love" and "One Day" at the same time.
I am reading "Eat Pray Love" now, because that's really what is next in line.
I only have the e-book so I only read it while I am waiting for the next van to arrive.
And I am reading "One Day" because Sarah let me read her book even before she can.
I've been wanting to read "One Day" because I like the look of the book. Hehehe.

*And since we are talking about books, I'd like to let you know, if you haven't deduce it yet that I LOVE
LOVE LOVE LOVE BOOKS. I swear. I couldn't even remember a time in my life when I am not reading
or even just holding a book. That being said, I just want to say that no matter how much or how big
is my love for books I would choose quality time with the people I love over a good book. ALWAYS.
Why am I saying this? It's because I couldn't wrap my comprehension in the fact that people trade
precious moments with loved ones and read. For example, why would you miss a chance to listen to
your grandparents' stories and read a book? Why would you miss spending time with your father, mother
or sisters because of a book? Time is ticking guys. The books, they are written. Permanent. They won't go
away. As to people, they are ticking and so are you. I would choose spending time with my relatives and
friends over a book because they are not always there and when they are there you make the most out
of the time they are willing to share. And I would rather spend time with my father, mother and especially my
little sisters, even if they are always there, JUST BECAUSE. I mean, I don't want to look at our pictures
many years from now and have this awful feeling of regret of not spending more time with them.
