With millions of published books, the seems to be endless options for anyone who loves to read. From Sylvia Plath to Steven King, there is a tremendous variety for all people with different tastes. But, if you love to read as much as I do, you understand that there are some "downsides" to having a great affinity for reading.
1. There is no such thing as owning "too many" books.
2. It's impossible to pass a Barnes & Noble without going inside.
3. You get attached to the lives of your favorite characters.
4. You're always wary to see a movie based on your favorite books.
What if the movie isn't nearly as good as the book? What if they get the characters completely wrong? There's just too much to risk.
5. The wait for the release of a sequel to your favorite series seems to drag on forever.
At this point, it doesn't have to be perfect. I just need to know what happens next.6. You always have a book handy in case of an emergency.
7. Most of your money is spent on buying books.
Saving money becomes really difficult when you have no self control in a bookstore.8. Finishing a great book always makes you sad.
The only things that can repair that small hole in your heart is either discovering a great, new book or just having a nice cry.9. You take it personally when someone doesn't like one of your favorite books.
You'll politely smile and nod at their opinion and acknowledge its existence, even though you know they're wrong.10. You've considered becoming an English major just to have an excuse to read as many books as you want without being judged.
