1. You can never read just a few pages.
2. When you finish a book that has CHANGED YOUR LIFE, you are still somehow expected to go into work the next day, cook dinner and interact with other human beings.
3. You haven’t eaten or visited the bathroom in about nine hours, and you keep telling yourself, “I’ll just wait until I finish this good bit.”
But the good bit never ends.
4. When you walk into a book store before pay day and you’re like:
5. When you have to wait for an author to write the next book in the series. (George R R Martin we are looking at you.)
6. You would rather struggle through travel sickness, than not read on a long trip.
7. When you lend somebody one of your books, and it comes back with dog-ears, a bent cover and a stain that looks suspiciously like spaghetti bolognaise.
And they don’t even apologise.
8. You develop instant crushes on handsome men reading.
In fact, less-than-handsome men become more attractive because of the book in their hand.
9. There are some series you’re deliberately avoiding because you know once you start reading, you won’t be able to stop until you’ve finished every book.
And you just don’t have the time for that right now.
10. Your favourite Disney princess is Belle because she inherits that massive library.
11. You have cancelled plans with friends because you would rather read.
But you have to hide it from them.
