Booking through Thursday asks:
Have you ever missed an important appointment because you have become so engrossed in a book you forgot the time or were up so late reading that you didn’t wake up in time? Been late to work because you couldn’t resist the temptation and left the house too late?
I actually can’t think of a particular time that this has happened to me. I’m a big on the go reader. I bring my books with to read right up until the time of appointments and classes. Also, I have the privelege of getting to read at work. (I attend the front desk of a residence hall on my campus.) What happens more often than not is that I lose sleep because I can’t put a book down. Sometimes I’ll read into the wee hours of the morning (and then hate myself for it the next day.) But please, someone reccomend a book that will suck me in so deeply I’m late and miss appointments! I sure wouldn’t mind.
