You Know You May Be a Bookworm When...

I know I've done something like this before (I think...) But I'm reading a really good book right now and I just couldn't help myself.

1) You have to be awake by six o'clock the next morning for work, but you stay up until midnight because the last three chapters have just been so good.

2) When you finally put your book down, your heart is actually racing, as if you were the one that just fought the battle, or ran the race, or escaped death.

3) You consider your two hundred books to be a pathetic collection.

4) You're sizing up some space in your room for a third book shelf.

5) You know that a perfect looking book is not a loved book. It's the ones with the cracked spine, the worn away corners and maybe the odd crease, that have been carried around in bags and purses because the owner cannot bear to be away from it. It looks like it's been to Hell and back, because, if you're taking a trip to help, you might as well have a book, right?

6) You savor your book like an expensive piece of Swiss chocolate. Nibble at it here, bite it there, then finish it all in one go once it's half way done. And always regret that it's now over.

7) You always feel like you don't read fast enough, because your collection is always growing twice as fast as you're reading it.

8) You would rather read your book during breaks at work/school than socialize with the people around you.

9) While on a large shopping trip, you made the mistake of buying two massive hard cover books as the first things of your trip.

10) Sometimes you forget that the people in the books don't actually exists, and you start to wonder if they'll ever do a tour or something, when you could meet them and get their autograph.
