You Know You're a Bookworm When.....

  1. Your idea of a perfect date begins at The Crossword Book Store, browsing for books and ends up on the couch… discussing books.

  1. You have a tendency to quote randomly from the latest book that you have read or are reading… For Example: when you see Palak (spinach) for dinner you say "It is silliness to eat, when to eat is a torment"

  1. You have the habit of noticing grammatical errors while people are speaking and you love to correct them, even if in return you get whacked on the head with your own book.

  1. You judge people by the kind of books they read: Chetan Bhagat/Sidney Sheldon readers = The Easy Going ones, Management Books readers = The Workaholics, Shakespeare/Jane Austen/Classics Readers = The Intense, Dreamy ones, Non readers = The Losers

  1. You will take it PERSONALLY if you hear even complete strangers saying "Oh books are so BORING!!"

  1. In all probabilities, the only serious hobby you have had in your life is "Reading".

  1. Nine out of Ten times, you wear glasses… atleast reading glasses.

  1. If you ever realise that there is a certain book that you STILL HAVE NOT READ… you will die of misery and embarrassment.

  1. When you are moving to a new house, you will pack your books in bubble wrap and write "Fragile, handle with care" on the box.

  1. According to you mishandling a book is a heinous crime and all offenders should be made to serve in a library for lifetime.

  1. Your circle of friends include the staff at your favourite bookstore, the friendly book-wallah on Dadar Station and your raddi-wallah who gives you second hand books for free.

  1. You are so crazy about books that in spite of all the constructive things you could have done with your free time, all you will do is start a blog dedicated to books and write about books till the time everyone around you gets nauseous and starts puking at the slightest mention of the "B- Word".

  2. let me add: The first thing you buy with your monthly salary is a book instead of a dress!

  3. also, you never lend your books to anyone because you will prefer lending money rather than giving away your precious books.
    P.S: this is one of your best posts

  4. I agree with you in every point! :-)
    Isn´t it wonderful to enter other worlds and forget everything around while reading?

  11. The post made me smile because all the points are perfect. Only difference is I prefer Landmark any day to Crossword. And yeah, although we want to show off our collection, we would never lend a book.
