Jane Eyre

OK, this is my favorite book.
my FAVORITE!
and to be honest I Do NOT want to take it back to the library like I'm supposed to.
Its a little black book, that has been in the library since EVER.
and If your an avid reader, of the classics. Then I'm sure you understand my dilemma.
there are probably some of you out there who are saying "whats the deal, buy the fricken book off of Barns and Nobles" which I would respond "you just don't get me."
Here is why I don't want to take it back,
-First of all, It smells like an ancient book, you know what I'm saying those ones that you place over your head and inhale it like its some illegal substance. and then you sit and stare at it for an hour and talk to it like its a person "God, your old, but you smell so awesome."
-Second of all, its so old a fragile that the binding is coming off, yeah, coming off, and it wouldn't be the same to have a new book, that didn't leave its mark when I pull it off of my pillow when I read in bed, and leave little pieces of book binding behind. Yes, I realize it would be the same story, but this one is just so special to me. I've made a connection and its going to seriously suck to take my FAVORITE book back to its technically "rightful" place.
But I have decided that I'm going to take it back, because I love the story so much, I'm going to promise to only check it out once a year, and this very same book, if it hasn't fallen apart by then, even then, I'll still want to check it out. Once a year because Its too good, and I'm afraid that I'd read it constantly, thus changing my outlook on the book, and risking the possibility of wearing out the story for my brain.
So there, also don't be surprised If in the next few days, I post that I have bought the book from the library, I'm not even kidding it might happen!
-Liz out.
