Bookworms on Judgement Day.

When the Day of Judgment dawns and people, great and small, come marching in to receive their heavenly rewards, the Almighty will gaze upon the mere bookworms and say to Peter, “Look, these need no reward. We have nothing to give them. They have loved reading.”

Many Bookworms are ‘speed readers’. Print allows for speed reading in a way that eReader simply cannot recreate. First, for someone like me, it’s essential to be able to see two pages at once. Second, the ability to flip back and forth a few pages or more is crucial, especially if I need reminding of a small detail I might have missed or haven’t fully processed.

Dilemma of a Bookworm, wishing you’re a close friend of that fuckin’ author whose book made you all sappy.

Me. And people like me. We’ll read anywhere, anytime. At the breakfast table. Walking home from the subway. In the shower. We also reread our favorite books over and over and over and over. We eat, sleep, and breathe books.

I always smile when I’m walking between bookshelves, you know, I pretend I hear those voices, their voices. I’m talking about Inkheart, the book that is too good to be true. Mo, from Inkheart, has an unusual ability, when he reads aloud, he can bring characters from books into the real world. Breathtaking, the ultimate dream of every bookworm.

A male bookworm is possibly the sexiest thing in the world after a musician.

I didn’t know how I survived this day.

  • Staggering from one room to another.
  • Working on an essay for my World Lit Class. A Comparison: Tale of the Flood and Noah’s Ark
  • Taking notes but eventually giving up cause my hands failed me.
  • Dizzy because of the lack of sleep.
  • Reading and hiding Catching Fire at the back of my notebook, cause my Immunology class was so boring.
  • Taking a 30 item quiz I wasn’t prepped for.
  • Thank you Cathing Fire, you kept me up till the wee hours of the morning. I’m now an OBSESSED Hunger Games fan. For the second time, I was forced by a book to neglect a quiz the next day. I’ll finish you off tonight.

10 Signs That You’re a Bookworm

  1. You have a nagging feeling that you were a termite during your previous life, because you don’t just glance or flip through books; you “devour” them.
  2. Instead of going to the gym to lift weights, you use the heaviest volume of the Encyclopedia Britannica to tone the muscles in your arms.
  3. You passionately support the bookmark industry by buying a new design every time you buy a new book.
  4. You frequent the library and bookstore as often as shopaholics raid high-end boutiques. Can you say Barnes and Noble, National Bookstore, Fully Booked, Powerbooks?
  5. You can put the soap opera fanatic to shame, because you’ve experienced an array of emotional responses just by reading your favorite novels.
  6. You savor the pleasant smell of a new book’s pages.
  7. You firmly believe that books had instant replays even before home theater equipment was invented.
  8. You wish they had book launchings during Shakespeare’s time. You’d love to have your copy of “Romeo and Juliet” signed by the great English bard!
  9. You actually looked forward to writing book reports in your literature classes.
  10. You feverishly try to learn building a glass-covered bookcase.

Because I’m a bookworm.

I finally have my own copy of Paper Towns by my favorite novelist, John Green. It has been on the reserved section of National Bookstore for two weeks now, I checked for it again this afternoon and asked the branch manager if I could buy the coveted copy (Because I was on the verge of buying either American Gods or I Am Number Four), luckily, the manager said yes. I gave her my number two weeks prior, turned out she forgot to text me that she couldn’t contact the original buyer of the said book.

Then poof, the book’s mine, a full fledged hard back, it’s worth the first dose of our required MMR vaccine and a Hepa B Titer. My allowance for next week scratched half of itself. This is terrible, being a bookworm really. The book you love, one time, big time opportunities, we never let them pass.

I can’t wait to finish Mockingjay.
