If you are, don’t worry – it’s not a bad thing! At least, not usually. Of course, if you miss school or are late to work because you can’t put down the latest novel from your favorite author, you might have a problem with your professors or your boss, but allowing yourself to be so caught up in reading is something you should make time for (just not already-scheduled time). We came across a list of some of the signs that you really, really, like books and have posted a few of them below. Do any of them describe you?

1. You can’t give one answer to the question “what’s your favorite book?”

If you’re looking for a new favorite in that ever-changing lineup, a good place to start are the “book of the year” lists on publishing websites and places like the Sunday Book Review section of the New York Times.

2. You can’t help laughing (or crying) out loud in public places at what you’re reading.

Stretch your emotions and your reading horizons with books like the hilarious “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris or the devastatingly beautiful look at life during World War II with Caroline Moorhead’s “A Train in Winter.”

3. You’re mad at the author for not writing the next book in the series right away.

If you’re engrossed in a story, it’s hard to wait another year to find out what happens next. While you’re waiting for the sequel of your latest favorite, go look for a complete series from an author you might not know, like the set of science-fiction novels by Iain M. Banks about the Culture universe that includes the fascinating “The Player of Games.”
