Things Only a Bookworm Would Understand

Your books are your own precious possessions

When I was packing to move into my apartment, I remember carefully packing my collection of books for the move…everything else was secondary.

You always keep a book in your bag

I’m never bored when I’m waiting on someone or have to take a number and wait. I just whip up my book and get lost in my book until it’s time.

You’re not that excited about e-readers

There are no pages to turn, no new book smell – it’s just not the same.

No one understands why you smell books

Each time I purchase a book, I can’t wait to get home to sniff it. That new book smell is just awesome!

You don’t have a favourite

You simply can’t decide on one, instead you have many favourites. They all have a special place in your heart.

You are in love with a fictional character

A non-bookworm won’t understand this but I’m in love with Rhett Butler from Gone with the Wind.

You hate people who make ‘art’ from books

Why would you bend and tear the pages? That should be a crime.

Fifty Shades of Grey is NOT a classic

I get fifty shades of angry when people try to class this with books such as Wuthering Heights?

You don’t understand when people say they don’t enjoy reading

When someone says this, I stare at them as though they’re speaking a different language because they are.

You get terribly angry when people treat books like crap

Why on earth would you use a book as a doorstop? (mentally shakes the living daylights out of the culprit)

You treat your library card with the same careful consideration as your ATM or credit card

After all, it’s just as precious.
