Love of Learning

I love that you love to learn.  I am pretty sure that you are the reason I even discovered buying books at Barnes and Noble in the first place.  I held the belief that I could only buy books for myself for school, prior to being with you.  You've fueled my addiction to building up our library, which has amassed over 675 books in the last 14 years! 

Although our collection is fabulous, it is not what is most important to me.  You really dive into a book, when you buy it.  I often buy a book of great interest, read a few pages, and put it on the shelf with hopes of returning to it to finish it someday soon.  When you buy a book, you devour it that day.  I feel like I can see the sentences jump off the page and incorporate themselves into your brain.  You really seem to have an intense interest in whatever you are reading and are remarkably open to discovering the point the author is trying to make.  I am proud of how you learn and how easily you seem to retain the information; I need to read, take notes, and study in order to retain the information I read.  I'm just plain jealous!
