Different Kinds of Readers.

The Devourer: Each book is a snack for this kind of reader--but it doesn't mean that s/he won't enjoy each book just as much.
The Lover: Books read by this kind of reader are read in hidden, stolen moments at the most unexpected times.
The Slow Dancer: Books are a treat that this kind of reader savors. Slow and steady wins this reader's race, as his/her eyes take in and taste each and every word. 
The Addict: Books are a conquest to this kind of reader. S/he will buy more books than s/he can read, but s/he will ALWAYS have something to read.
The Classic: Books of the past are a gift to this reader. Prose in the style of early contemporary authors, or stories written long ago, are favorites for this reader.
The Die-Hard: Genres are a way of life for this reader. S/he finds a niche and sticks to it--veering from what s/he knows for short bursts of time.
The Advocate: This reader is a lover of books. S/he is not just a reader, but an advocate of reading--hoping that the future will contain more readers.
The Juggler: The reader that inexplicably is reading six books at any given moment.
 What kind of reader are you? Add on if you wish!

Lizzie, grinning (glancing at all her books in piles about the room): And you must have your books.
Emma: Exactly.

Lizzie: No one tells me anything. They think I can't keep a secret. And between you and me . . . they're right.

Emma made a mental note to remember that.

It’s one in the morning. And I’m looking at this book I just got from the library. By one of my favorite authors. And, and…just one chapter, okay? But that never works and I always read the whole thing. Somebody stop me.
