Does this describe any of you?
Just for some shamelessly nerdy fun, rate yourself on a scale of one to ten: one meaning you shudder just imagining the taste of literature, of words, of grammar twists and plot turns; ten meaning you literally cannot shove the words down fast enough, that your appetite roars for an incessant stream of fiction and articles and poetry, that you’ve possible even considered addiction counselling to release yourself from the constant desire to read and write.
Perhaps you’re a two, you hate reading and you’ll be clicking out of this internet window as swiftly as possible. Or, perhaps you’re a five, you like a dose of bedtime reading every now and again. A seven maybe…you could spend at least an hour among the shelves of a bookstore.
One to Ten…?
‘She is too fond of books and it has turned her brain.’
Louisa M. Alcott
I’m a 10 and have been ever since I learnt to read 59 years ago!
I’m glad to hear I have an number 10 ally! And what a wonderful quote – reminds me of Alice in Wonderland but modified to be…Alice in Literature! Thank you for commenting
