You find a book so good, you can't put it down- and it's thousands of pages long. What a treat!
You're so engrossed in it, you forget to eat, drink, or sleep.
One day, they find your corpse sitting hunched over in a reading chair, the book still clutched firmly in your withered hands, your hollow eyes glazed over, frozen forever in a permanent enraptured stare at the page.
You never finish the book....it finished you.
I wish for 2017 to be better than 2016.
