Me: "I'll just read one chapter before bed."
Also me: still reading at 2am, dreaming about the characters, neglecting my entire life
This book has me in a chokehold. Staying up way too late. Sneaking in pages whenever I can. Dreaming about it—except my brain mixes it with my real life and makes it weird. Putting off everything I should be doing.
I wish I could just enjoy something without needing to completely devour it. But no. I have to consume it as fast as possible... and then feel empty when it's over.
Anyone else like this or is it just me?
