I love reading. Always have, always will. I know that I'm a bookworm to the core, and it's something that I'm proud of. To me, there's nothing better than getting lost in a good book, or exploring a used bookstore, or checking out a stack of books at the library. These are things all bookworms know to be true, and there's plenty where that came from.
