The life of a bookworm is a consuming one in which everything revolves around books. How many you have, how many you've read, when you'll get time time to purchase and read more, and so on. Us bookworms get excited when we find others with a mutual love, and even more excited when we find an accurate portrayal of a book lover in a TV character. Here's a glimpse into the life of a bookworm, as told by the ultimate one himself, Brick Heck from ABC's "The Middle".
1. After a new purchase
After leaving the bookstore, you clutch your new books to your chest as if they were your own children.
2. The tactile beauty of books
Not only do you love reading books, you love the books themselves. You probably own, or wish you owned, a book scented candle, and you scoff at people who think eBooks can even compare to their physical counterparts.
3. Conversing
You probably have trouble talking about anything other than books and words.
4. Halloween costumes
You want something that represents your one true love, but also something non-book lovers will understand.
5. Finding clothes with a literary theme
Because everyone you pass needs to understand your love for literature.
6. Friends
Books are there for you when nobody else is.
7. Trying to limit yourself
When you see what life is like without reading because you need to get other things done.
8. The book lover's philosophy
The words we live by.
