-people who only reads magazines are considered practically inhuman -instead of studying for exams, you read. -books are like papery people, with souls and everything, and you cry when one gets destroyed (like my dog ate this really old copy of Lord of the Rings...I bawled haha) -you would live in a bookstore if they would let you.
This like, defines me lol.
-- How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. Henry David Thoreau.
You stand up in the theater when the movie wrecks the end of your favorite book and exclaim "WHAT?" (someone told me he did that) You make a pilgramige to Barns and Noble on the weekend when you're bored, even if you have no car. When listing your favorite comedies, Spaceballs and Monty Python are accompanied by Barry Trotter, Bunnicula, and Bord of the Rings. It's like fingernails to a chalkboard when people praise a book with a writing style you can't stand You notice trends in the character types of your favorite authors You don't judge how cool it is to read by the stuff they force you to read in school The Disney Princess you identify most with is Bell. You start to form conspiracy theories about stories when reading them for the 4th or 5th full time While your normal friends are in love with movie and Anime characters, you'r thinking about someone from "Dune" or "Harry Potter" You know that Boba Fett isn't really dead You've heard of Neuromancer You know that Christopher Paolini's writing isn't really all that great You start to get annoyed from seeing the same phrases too many times in unrelated books ("His fingers danced over the keys", "The fire danced", "the sword fighting elves danced around each other") Waldon Books is on your must-stop-at-always list when going to the mall You can think of 4 different authors you'd go to a bar with (it's a question someone posted a thread about)
