Hostage to your book? Escape is possible.....

Do you ever have the feeling that you have been trapped by the book you are reading? 

You definitely have things to do, sometimes even IMPORTANT things. You have been guilty of ignoring repeated requests from family members that you:

 'Shut that Damn book and,

 LISTEN TO ME'!

You haven't done the washing, written that report or seen the sun in days. Your skin is pasty and vitamin D deficiency is looming as a real issue (rickets anyone?).

There's a world out there.... check it out!

It's scary I know, that feeling that the world is passing you by, as you remain mired in an alternative reality.

Slowly sinking into bookish quicksand, suffocation only moments away.                       

Yep. It's time to call in the hostage negotiators; keep the black phone free and come up with some exit strategies.

My favorite: Close the damn book.

It's freeing.

The sun is shining.

The world is out there, pay it an occasional visit!
