It's fine it was just a little bit weird looking at it. I did say that most of
us on here are to a large extent bookworms so I understand completely. I think
part of mine is I've been trapped in the house for nearly 5 months due to
cancer and quite frankly if I don't find something to do I'm going to go
insane. I've never liked being idle. I've got schoolwork I can do that there's
only so much of that type of thing to do before that's completed and once
that's completed I have lots and lots of free time on my hands. It was part of
the reason I decided to volunteer with bookshare. I could do something I loved
and still stay at home and work on it when I could physically speaking.
