Rule #1. NEVER lose the book.
Rule #2. Keep your Bookmarker on you at all times, preferably in the back of the book for quick exit should things get hairy.
Rule #3. Remember you’re in a story. Their futures have been etched in ink. You can still get hurt and even die. Respect the story at all costs.
These are the rules I learned from a man who would open my eyes to a whole new world when it comes to books. I am a Bookworm Bandit, part of a network of Bandits who travel through books to gather supplies not available in the real world.
What you’re about to read is how I began this career. I hope you enjoy it. This is The Fantastic Life of Bookworm Bandits.
