You know you love a book when…

You know you love a book when you:
  • read it so many times that you know each sentence as though you wrote it.
  • feel all the same emotions even when you read it the 'n'th time.
  • stop after each line, re-read it and think about it for hours hence.
  • want to stop and make notes in your scrapbook frequently.
  • keep quoting lines from the book.
  • discuss it non-stop with your friends and family.
  • tell the story to your children and grandchildren.
  • forgo your favorite TV program to read it.
  • keep on reading at dinner time despite being hungry.
  • keep reading it long after your usual bedtime.
  • rush and buy your own copy as soon as you return your library copy.

  • feel sad that the character on the cover does not have the face you imagined.
  • start acting like one of the characters in the book.
  • dream about the characters, events or the setting in it.
  • wonder what happened to the characters after The End.
  • wait for a sequel to the book or wish that it had a prequel.
  • look forward to the film version with excitement.
  • hate the film version because you feel it did injustice to the book.
  • recommend it (and other books by the author) to all and sundry.
  • stand in queues to meet the author.
  • buy other books of the same author.
  • Google the author's name and read up everything about him/her.
  • wish that you had written a similar book.
