I admit I have a four-letter addiction. No, its not “coke” or “beer” or other four-letter words with bad connotations that I’m not clever enough to attach to this post.

Its books. Okay, please no one point out that that’s actually five letters — I don’t count the “s” since I’m speaking of the root problem.

Why do I suddenly admit this publicly? Because I’ll be spending the next week and a half in Kauai and I’m trying to figure out which of my many prized books to take. There’s something really wrong about that, I think. I should be more concerned with which hike to take on which day, what helicopter to trust my life with, or what river to kayak down. Right?

But I cannot deny that I have a natural curiosity about things. Its mostly having to do with my industry, so I could stand to be a bit more varied. My industry is absolutely popping with ideas and new tools. And since my own job is promptly ignoring most of this, I’m living vicariously through others through these books.

But anyway, I’m curious to see how much I really do read while on vacation. I have this feeling that I won’t read much and that this fretting over which books to take is all for naught. Still, there are worse four-letter addictions, so I feel good about only having this one.

Um…okay, so I like beer and wine too. And food. Damn…I’m so weak…
