Where do we start? Books usually do it with a dedication, so i'll dedicate this to all the books i've started reading but never finished; 

I'm sorry, it wasn't you it was me. The spark just wasn't there. 

I tried i really did. Gave it my best go, but you gave me nothing back...

Okay, okay. Time to end the relationship analogy, but that's what it is, and that's why i love it.  When you read a book, it's just the two of you, no one else. You go on a journey, experience new things, go through emotions and few unexpected (sometimes good, mostly bad) surprises. When you're really into it, but apart from it, you cant wait to be back together and hold it in your hands. 

You never forget the first book you love, you measure all others by it. And the beauty is you can read more than one book at once and they don't get jealous. It's an open relationship if you will.
