I recently read the following article over at the Geeky Book Snob and it really made me smile so wanted to share it (coupled with the fact that I’m nosey and want to see just how obsessed you really all are and whether you should be on medication or not:

Okay – On a scale of 1 – 11 how many did you score – be honest!

My immediate thoughts.

  1. Why wouldn’t you take a book with you when you leave home?  It fits in your bag and you’re never short of something to do!  Simples.
  2. I can totally relate – I’m never excited about buying clothes, I just do it – in and out of the shop as quick as possible.  Book stores – I can spend hours in just happily wandering, mooching, reading snippets and jackets. *sigh*
  3. Okay, I may not have maimed anyone (yet) but I do occasionally smuggle books into the house and hide them (this is what some women do with clothes) then when the other half notices them I just casually say, ‘oh those old things, I’ve had them for ages’!
  4. Absolutely spot on.  I love the library.
  5. I refuse to even think about this.
  6. Naturally.  It might be something I was really looking forward to! (Actually I suppose I do have to act a bit more responsibly than that (something about having a family to feed *waves hand absentmindedly*) but come on, there’s always a bargain out there – you just need to keep your eyes peeled!
  7. I don’t do this and perhaps that’s why most of my books never find their way homes – I hadn’t realised that I needed a bit of blood magic.  Bangs head on wall!
  8. Just doesn’t happen!  I refuse to read the magazines in there – one they’re 3 years old and two, on the absolute rare occasion you find something of interest in one of those I guarantee someone will have torn half the article out!  Very annoying!!  High blood pressure at all….
  9. This is true – they just don’t know they’re my friend and think I’m some sort of weird stalker as I try and discover what they’re reading – not easy when they’re reading a Kindle – which is another down side to the Kindle that I forgot to add to my pros and cons list!
  10. I do worry about this but it’s pointless – my books are doomed!  There’s far too much paper and it’s stacked up all over the place – perhaps that’s a plus for the Kindle!
  11. Why on earth would I rip a page in a book!  That’s just silly!  Now, if you’re the sort of person who rips pages in books – then perhaps you need a Kindle.

Let me know your score.
