I was commenting on Aralyn's post over at Paper Addictions & Magic about why people might DNF books when I realized just how often it seems I find myself trying to explain why I don't DNF. And so I figured, why not just make a post about it? It seems I'm in the minority with this (nothing new there), so it might be good to have an explanation out there to explain to all the DNFers why us...

A.K.A. 10 book quotes for nyctophiles, like me! You might not know this, but I love the night. I've mentioned before that the "Moonlight" part of my blog name is actually a reference to my love for the night rather than the actual moon. I've always been a night owl.
