Man I feel like I have known you guys all my life...with the reading books at the table and readign three in one day and stuff.

You know you have read too many books when in every real life situation you can think of a book you have read that applies to it.
In fact everything you do reminds you of a book you have read.
The only thing you talk about is books that you have read.

[Orange Toast]

When you gain the ability to read and sing in a choir at the same time.
(The choir teacher got angry with me when I did that in 7th or 8th grade. gonk )

[Icabod_Jane]

...when your mom grounds you from your books, and when your jobs puts up a sign just because of you saying ' im paying you to work..not read'

....you only have 4x3 feet of living space, and manage to cram over four dozen large books into said space.

...your mother doesn't by you books anymore for christmas or your birthday...she can't find ones you haven't read.

OH, wow!

I so relate to you all! I have done each of these things - well except the tattoo of Watership Down and being able to sing in the choir and read at the same time (are you adhd?? they are generally fabulous multi taskers is why I ask).

Books are like my friends, I cry with them, I laugh out loud with them, I get mad at the characters, people think I am weird because I always have my nose in a book. I totally carry no less than 3 books with me at all times (yes in my special book bag) and have a major stash in my car trunk if that runs out. Plus, I have many more in my locker at work!

My mom has a sweatshirt I covet I am sure you have all seen "so many books so little time." That is true, I have a huge library of all types of books and I wish there was more time in the day! I am so happy there are others out there like me...sniff, I am not alone!

... when the worst possible punishment your parents can think up is taking away all your books.

....But realize they can't because there are too many, as it would involve packing up the majority of the items in your bedroom.
