This was on shenya's livejournal and she says she gakked it from

" moggymania "

pretty funny

for me it would be text books and non-fiction, rather than novels.

I have read fiction when I was depressed, or to cheer myself up.

I have gone on reading binges of an entire book or more in a day.

I read rapidly, often 'gulping' chapters.

I have sometimes read early in the morning or before work.

I have hidden books in different places to sneak a chapter without

being seen.

Sometimes I avoid friends or family obligations in order to read novels.

Sometimes I re-write film or television dialog as the characters speak.

I am unable to enjoy myself with others unless there is a book nearby.

(Not quite, but do generally carry an emergency book supply.)

At a party, I will often slip off unnoticed to read.

Reading has made me seek haunts and companions which I would otherwise

avoid.

I have neglected personal hygiene or household chores until I have

finished a novel.

I have spent money meant for necessities on books instead.

I have attempted to check out more library books than permitted.

Most of my friends are heavy fiction readers.

I have sometimes passed out from a night of heavy reading.

I have suffered 'blackouts' or memory loss from a bout of reading.

I have wept, become angry or irrational because of something I read.

I have sometimes wished I did not read so much.

Sometimes I think my reading is out of control.

If you answered 'yes' to four or more of these questions, you may be a

literature abuser. Affirmative responses to seven or more indicates a

serious problem.

What does affirmative response to thirteen questions indicate?
