What it's like to be a book-lover

1. You instantly become best friends with someone who has the same taste in books as you.

I have made several friends this way.

2. So many books. ..so little time.
Life often gets in the way of your reading.

3.  The agony of waiting. 

When you read a book that's part of a series and it ends in a cliffhanger but the next book in the series isn't due to be published for at least a year. It's a struggle between valuing the author's creativity and needing your next great book fix.

4. You take it personally when the movie adaptation is a total flop.
We have long accepted that movie adaptations will never be perfect but we still have standards.

5. Finding a book that surprises you. 

After a while this becomes the challenge. You've read so many volumes that you can spot a clichè storyline a mile  away

6. Walking into a bookshop while broke.
Absolute torture. And even when you do have money,  it's never enough for all the books you would like to buy

It's like playing monopoly and this happens

7. Becoming emotionally attached to fictional characters.

You laugh when they do and cry when they do and become absolutely devastated when they die.

8. You make quotes that other people don't understand.
..unless they've read the same books you have

9. Finding a nice peaceful quiet place to read. 
For some reason people tend to seek you out when you're trying to read!

10. Being mistaken for being antisocial.
There is a time for everything. Some of us just happen to be completely comfortable sitting in absolute silence for extended periods of time with our noses buried in a book or pressed against a tablet screen.
