I can't! They're especially important to me in the bus/subway/plane whenever I'm traveling or at night sometimes when I can't sleep! I need them by the bedside so I don't go crazy with my thoughts!

What are 5 things you can give up for books if you really had to chose between them and books?

Lol! I would give up:

1. Television (which I feel I have already given up😆)

2. Movies (another thing I have given up almost)

3. Make up

4. Ps2 (this would very hard though)

5. Hmm...I have no clue.😆

How often do you use those things as compared to the books you read?

Not much!

Yes, they are. They are an escape from "real" life , open my imagination and most importantly makes me happy. Amazingly enough too, is that books tend to calm my otherwise - overactive mind. The first place i go to after my examinations are over, is the BOOKSTORE or if I had a bad day at work, a good book always makes things slightly less terrible! People think I'm crazy, but what can i say? lol 😆

This is the only place i can say these things and no worry about sounding like I'm crazy! lol

What are 5 things you can give up for books if you really had to chose between them and books?

I would give up:

1. My favourite television shows (or tv in general)

2. My Blackberry (in a heartbeat!)

3. Facebook! lol

4. no frizz cream for my hair - My hair will be a mess but, I'll sacrifice manageable hair for a good book! lol

5. My favourite pair of jeans (I'll miss these though, because i practically live in them )

How often do you use those things as compared to the books you read?

I use some, if not all of the above, at least every day, but with time constraints I don't always get to read everyday. 😳

No, you're not crazy at all. Can I say I relate completely to every single word you wrote? Ditto. Same to same. I NEED a book to de-stress after/during exams (and as a distraction from my course books). Not going with friends, not watching movies, nothing else - just a good book, a cup of tea and my overactive imagination. I mean, otherwise, where else can I find an outlet for my imagination? That's the thing I love about books, it gives you the liberty to choose faces for the characters and in a way make them your own even though they are the author's property lol. With movies, you can't do that. Lol, I just realized I ranted, but totally agree with what you've said. 😆

Books are mighty important to me, I cant make it through a single day without reading or studying. Oh, I think I'd manage.

Food, television, chocolates (ones I dont like, rare. 😆), school and I dont know, I'd prefer reading to many things.

How often do you use those things as compared to the books you read?

I eat everyday, I watch TV everyday and have chocolates thrice a week, maybe more. 😆 School is mandatory, cant help. =D
