MemberI…haven’t memorized my library card number. I don’t actually even have a library card. Yes! A inhouse library is esential, large windows, lots of pillows and fluffy chairs, I’m thinking My Fair Lady library not Beauty and the Beast library.
*nods* I’m naming my children that way too. Or atleast strange names. Just need to marry the right guy.
Some possibles: Taylaminkadot, Istra, Jonathan, etc.
Quotes in conversations…oi.
–You sleep with them.
–You mumble passages in your sleep.
–When you wake up you can relate the dream you had to some book.
–You always take a book with you when you go out, regardless of were your going and whether or not you’ll have time to read it.
–You have no life and no hobby except reading.
–Conversations seem to end up on the topic of books.
–The librarian knows your name and favorite genre.
–They say you’re the best thing that happened to them.
–The library sales have record breaking sales every year…because of you.
–When you get a little money you spend it on books. Your health, wealth, and well fair aren’t very important.
–When you have a book detector instead of a metal detector.
–You can laugh in the face of the book addicts you read about.
–When you read.
–You read the “Book Recommendations” in the back of books and find that you’ve areasy read half the books listed.
–When You can’t navigate your room any more.
–When you know who Harriet Beecher Stowe, Tom Sawyer, Hans Christian Anderson, and H. G. Wells are and which books they wrote.
–When you ace tests asking who’s more real, Sherlock Holmes or Winston Churchill. (Real test, most English kids think Winston Churchill was made up for a book.)
&c.

MemberUm… Tom Sawyer never wrote anything…
I definitely have a life and hobby besides reading. But I do read a lot more than most of my friends.
Never slept with a book, and generally I don’t take them with me unless I really know I’ll have time to red them. Although when my family goes on vacation, beware! I usually bring about three times more than I’ll actually read, and once I read straight through The Complete Sherlock Holmes on one long vacation trip. I also did Tears of a Dragon for the first time all in one drive home from vacation (Circles of Seven on the way there.)
And I wanted to name our dog Taylaminkadot when we got her, but my mom vetoed it.

MemberThat would have been s SWEET name for a dog!! Awww thats too bad. What is the beaded dragon contest and how can you enter??
Same here, I really don’t read that much, except for on vacations, and my library is going to have a secret passage, to a room with astro-turf carpeting and a hammock! With lots of smelly plants. and windows.

Membermonkeygal693, go here for the beaded dragon bookmark contests: http://dragonbloggin.blogspot.com/
I don’t think she’s running one of those contests right now, but they do pop up with some amount of regularity.

*nods* There’s a reason you should never pull those kinds of books on people who read and have some literary knowledge…
(JK. I do confess that I meant to write “Mark Twain” not “Tom Sawyer.”)
–You win library reading programs with very little difficulty.

Or you never enter them because you already own the good prizes and the rest are lame books you don’t care about.

MemberMy library didn’t offer books as prizes. *pouts*

Memberlol you people are very funny!
September 27, 2008 at 5:36 pm #43556Pip
MemberNot offering books as prizes is highly offensive. We must write to the board of library reading programs and protest! Someone make a sign! Rally a bunch of book-lovers!
Usually the first thing I put as an Interests thing if I’m signing up for something is Reading! That’s always first. And I almost always have books hiding somewhere on my bed. Often, in the middle of the night, I’ll hear a CRASH that tells me books have fallen off!
Seceret passages, huh? I must plan a secret passage from my dungeons to the huge library in my future castle. I am going to have a castle, you know.

MemberAnd 26 maids, Pip?
I want a butler like Butler, actually. Except if I’m married, then I wouldn’t want a butler.

–When your officially nuts.
–When you can relate everyone you know to a book character.
–When the first thing people say when they visit you is, “Wow. Lotsa books” or “Dude you have, like, alot of books” or “Read them all yet?” or “Your nuts.”

MemberYou know you love reading when:
You take books and a flashlight to the movies (just in case it gets boring
)
you are old and can’t see, but can quote any book!

MemberA butler, hmm. I think I want a valet like Jeeves instead.
…er, sorry. Ontopic–let’s see–
–when you want a valet like Jeeves.
September 28, 2008 at 6:25 pm #43560Owan
Member–When you know who Jeeves is.
September 28, 2008 at 6:54 pm #43561Jordan
MemberGuess I don’t love books, ’cause I don’t know who Jeeves is…
I’m thinking about collecting the best ten of these and making a blog post out of them. So which are your favorites?
