You may be a book addict if...

  • 1:

    You spend a lot of money on books. Even at thrift stores and used book stores. You can never get enough.

  • 2:

    You have bookcases, shelves, or stacks of books EVERYWHERE.

  • 3:

    Most of those shelves are warped from the weight of all of your books.

  • 4:

    You can never pass a bookstore or a store with a selection of books without having just. one. glimpse. inside. ("Just one, I swear!")

  • 5:

    People give you books or giftcards to bookstores as gifts for special events.

  • 6:

    You ALWAYS have a book with you. Even if it is a huge hardcover edition.

  • 7:

    You can never stop talking about books. Ever.

  • 8:

    You occasionally say, "Oh, that movie looks interesting! Better read the book first, since it's probably even better!" Or some variation of that.

  • 9:

    You proudly show off the fact that you read an incredibly difficult book that not a lot of people have read. Be proud!

  • 10:

    Your parents have told you to do something social... maybe go outside, see the sun, smell fresh air.

  • 11:

    You have mastered the "don't-talk-to-me-or-else-you're-dead-to-me" look for people who have boundary issues when you're reading.

  • 12:

    Sarcasm is occasionally your friend when people say obnoxious things about you reading so much.

  • 13:

    You salivate over pictures of books. It's okay, we all do it.

  • 14:

    You can't browse the deals section of a cheap book website because you know you can't really afford it, but you'll shop anyway.

  • 15:

    One of your goals in life is to have a personal library in your home when you have your own house.

  • 16:

    The smell of new books, or old books, is something you look forward to.

  • 17:

    You always take a step back after putting your book haul away and stare at your growing book collection.

  • 18:

    You basically live at the library, bookstore, or secondhand bookstore closest to your home.

  • 19:

    You want to marry a book lover, too.

  • 20:

    You occasionally break into emotional hysterics when reading a really intense book in public.

  • 21:

    You ask yourself: physical books or ebooks?

  • 22:

    You need to place a book buying ban on yourself.
