Do you have to take the book out of your purse before you go into a bookstore?
If you're watching TV and a commercial comes on, do you open a book?
Do you read while waiting for the light to turn green?
Do you take a book everywhere, even if you won't have a chance to read it?
Do you feel stressed out if you have to run errands on your lunch break
instead of reading a book?
Do you have a pile of your favorite books stacked up on the endtable
by your
bed? in the living room? on any flat surface that will
hold a book?
Is there a book in every room of your house at this moment?
Do you often begin sentences with "I read somewhere that..."?
Do you sometimes think of a fictional character as real?
Do you imagine a character from one series meeting one from another?
And chuckle at the dialog?
Can you recite from memory every book a half dozen authors have published?
And have you read all of them?
Have you ever been late for work because you had to finish the chapter?
(For new mothers) Do you use those middle of the night feedings
as
opportunities to read?
Then you, my friend, are a book-a-holic! Me, too.
