      1. Of course I am. They neglected to add a key component of literature abuse – taking works of literature and merging them with pop-culture for the amusement of your other literature abusing friends. Mixing Buffy and Jane Austen has to count for several points there. ;-)

    1. Heh, 2

      Although, I am rather lumping literary projects in there with the actual literature.

      All of which reminds me of Junior High, when I signed out library books under fake names, High School, when I stashed books in the locker room, the time I fainted after reading Clan of the Cave Bear for however many hours that was (it’s all kind of blurry).

      Actually, come to think of it I’m much better than I used to be. Taps fingers on arm, now I just read socially.

    1. I like having a book with me. I typically don’t read it but it provides me comfort knowing it is there if I need it. I started leaving it behind when doing stuff with people, but then I would get stuck waiting while they parked or some such and needed something to entertain me, so I started the habit up again.

    Only had to say “no” to 5.

    Have book stashed all over. 1 in the car, 1 at work, 1 in my gym bag. Pile by the bed of course.

    Remember the bet I won w/ Highlander over books? He had more quanity (albeit 90% were gaming manuals), but I had more hardcovers and my collection weighed more!

    I *am* Book Woman! (sigh) still have to figure a way to do that costume.

    - D

  2. Whoops… there were only *3* I didn’t answer Yes too…

    - I am unable to enjoy myself with others unless there is a book nearby.
    - I have attempted to check out more library books than permitted.
    - I have suffered ‘blackouts’ or memory loss from a bout of reading.

    Is there a 12-step program for Lit-addicts? ;)

  3. hey, just because I said “yes” to all but 4 questions (the ones about thinking you have a problem, having to have a book with you (i’ve gotten over that) and the socializing with people you otherwise wouldn’t) and my parents spent 100 grand to put me through SMC so I could clerk at B&N does -NOT- make me an abuser. I do -not- have a problem. I can stop any time I want.
