I seem to enjoy books about many things, but books like Fight Club and 1984 have to be at the very top of that list. I also used to read books way more than I do now and can't seem to get back into them and I really want; I believe I know why, reading doesn't offer instant gratification as video games do and I'm addicted to them. As a child I grew up borderline homeless and without power, plumbing or any of the things people take for granted, but every day I had a book from either a local library or the school's library. As an adult, I have no money still, but I have a computer that I built myself and it can play most games out now and I spend a lot of time playing Battlefield 3 and a small fraction of that playing time I spend beating my keyboard to the point my fists get bloody (Somehow my keyboard survives, don't ask because I can't explain it.) To get to my point, I'm sure more of you guys have run into the video game addiction and wanted to get back to your books, how did you get away from games and back to your books? I was given a kindle a year or two ago and have some .pdf books on it that people gave me, but the kindle just isn't the same as having paper in your hands and really turning the pages. Please advise me, I would be most gracious!
