1.Your house is full of references to various books/ plays/ poems. On mugs, cushions, bookmarks, t-shirts…everything seems to have some nod towards a classic or two.
2. You get withdrawal symptoms if you haven’t read a book for a week.
3.You are simultaneously intrigued and horrified at the thought of your favourite text being turned into a movie.
4. You compare people you meet and situations to book characters/ plots. “He better not turn full Macbeth over that.” “I’m not going to do a Penelope and wait around forever.” The moment there is snow- “It looks like Narnia!”
5. Your pets are named after your favourite characters.
6. Your children are named after your favourite characters/ if you don’t have children your ‘favourite name lists’ definitely is just a list of your favourite characters.
7. When you think back to a wonderful moment in your life, you can remember exactly what book you were reading at the time.
8. When you think back to a terrible moment in your life, you can remember exactly what book you were reading at the time.
9. Whenever anyone quotes literature in a film, you turn to the person sitting next to you and name the writer, the book/play/poem and occasionally the page number/ scene.
10. You just can’t stop looking for hidden meaning… in everything.
All in all, I am so glad that I was introduced to reading at
a young age and that I have had opportunity and encouragement to pursue my love
for literature throughout my life- wouldn’t change it for the world 😊
