Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post about it.

Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, political leanings, thoughts on religion, favorite type of underwear, random techniques, etc. Repost in your own journal so that we can all learn more about each other!

• Has the library offered to upgrade your library card to platinum?

They have removed the restrictions on the number of books I can borrow. I guess that is the same thing.

• Do you have a stack of books on your night stand high enough to be considered an architectural wonder?

                 yep...  and it is not just one stack.

• Do you have enough rewards points from your Amazon.com purchases to fly free to Europe?

        now that you mention it I will have to go and sign up

• Do you ask strangers, "What's that you're reading?"

all the time

• Do you have more than 100 cubic yards of bookshelf space, but wish you had more?

     I have more than that and I still ran out of room. Mom has recently told me the house is not a storage place.

• Do librarians ask you if they can borrow a book?

      actually they did which I thought was odd at the time but now I am thinking I should be flattered.

• Are you on a first-name basis with the sales clerks at Borders?

       *cough*  Thats not a bad thing is it?

• Do you feel naked without a book somewhere on your person?

          yes I do

• Does the smell of a new book make you woozy?

 The smell no the sight yes

• Does the smell of an old book make you woozy?

same as the above

• Have you ever hugged a book?

every day

• Do you have more books loaned out than most people own?

Am pretty selfish with my books unless you area bookcrosser or a close friend that I know will treat it wit the respect it deserves.

• Have you ever hidden under your covers with a flashlight so you could read just one more chapter, undetected?

yep

• Do you own just the right number of books to last your lifetime (that is, if you live to be 307)?

try several lifetimes

• Have you ever camped out for a book release?

yesI have

• Do you have your name on the library waiting list for more than a dozen books at a time?

       well...yes

• Are you ever frustrated with your friends or relatives because they do not behave as predictably as literary characters?

If   someone would behave as in a Jane Austen novel my life would be tons easier.

• Have you ever tucked a novel inside of another book to disguise what you are reading?

          yep

• Do you have stacks of books in places that most normal people would not stack them (e.g. on the back of the toilet, in old milk crates, under the legs of furniture, in the glove compartment, on top of the television, in unused bathtubs)?

yes

• Have you ever replied, "Too many books? How could a person ever have too many books?"

yes and people without books makes me nervous.

Count the number of questions to which your response is "yes". Use the scale below to determine your bibliophilic tendencies.

0 - 5
What are you doing on an author website, anyway? You must have browsed here by accident. Perhaps you were searching for Hannon Shale, a sedimentary rock from the Precambrian Period.

6 - 10
You have a healthy regard for books. You feel for them the way you would an esteemed distant relative or a trusted counselor. You are in little danger of being overrun by books, but you are probably a card-carrying library patron.

11 - 15
You love books, but fortunately for you, there is a good chance you will remain sane. Your bibliophilia is borderline, but not yet at the pathological stage.

16 - 20
Sorry to say that it is too late for you. You are certifiable. You love books the way Augustus Gloop loves chocolate. Resign yourself to the fact that books will consume your life. Or, rather, you will consume books with reckless abandon verging on insanity throughout your life.
