The one and only good thing my father ever did for me was to force me to read Tom Sawyer and Hucklelberry Finn. That started me on a love affair with books and reading that has endured these 70 years.

That depends: If by mad you mean you are angry about books, no. Specific books and/or authors may make me angry, but books in general do not.
However, if you mean by "mad" that you are crazy about books, then I definitely agree. I love books, read all the time, and it definitely drives me mad to have to wait for sequels to my favorites, or even new releases by favorite authors.

I am stark raving mad about books!!! I love to read!!! I try to read at least one book a week. Sometimes I get lucky and read more than that.

Yes. They smell really good. old or new or used books smell great. I enjoy a good nose in the entire thing or just a waft...depending on the book.

Yes, I'm an absolute bookworm and I always have been. Now when I'm not reading, I'm writing or thinking about what to write...........just seems like a natural progression.
