I am a health care professional for whom reading has been a life-long passion. I read anything from cereal boxes to zoology texts and have perfected the art of reading and walking at the same time so I can read walking to and from work. I get an extra 30 pages a day in that way. As Thomas Jefferson aptly said, "I cannot live without books."

I should mention that I do "have a life". It's just that books are a very large part of it!
