Why Do I Buy Books?

Honestly. So I made a point today to stop in at a bookstore and pick up an interesting book to read. I've felt recently that I have been spending too much time reading internet articles instead of actually taking the time to read a whole book. All evening, here I've sat at my computer perusing the wide scope of what all the brilliant columnists or bloggers wrote today. Upon (many) trips to my refrigerator I've looked longingly at my pretty new book desperately desiring to crack it open and devour it whole. But, now it's a little before midnight and I haven't read anything but the outside cover and the table of contents. I have failed.
