Voracious Reader Syndrome

If you have three or more of the following symptoms, you could have voracious reader syndrome and there is only one treatment for it!
Reading a book as a writer.

  • You know what TBR (To Be Read) stands for and your TBR pile never comes to an end. Ever.
  • The first thing you read in the Sunday paper is the book reviews.
  • You follow the bestseller lists.
  • You not only have a library card but you use it regularly.
  • There are piles of books everywhere in your house.
  • You don’t mind waiting for anything because you carry a book with you at all times, especially for appointments. You get in the car line at school early so you can read your book.
  • You reread your favorite books and can recite by heart your favorite parts.
  • A gift card to Barnes & Noble (or Amazon, or Chapters) is the ultimate gift.
  • You never sleep alone because you always take a book to bed with you. If you wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep, you grab the book at the bedside and your reading light.
  • Reading, Interrupted: When stuck in the middle of a good book, you resent the fact that you have other things to do: like go to work, go grocery shopping, or get eight hours of sleep.
  • You read everything: the backs of cereal boxes, the church bulletin, cookbooks, advertisements, the fine print, this blog post.
  • You can spend hours in the bookstore or a library and you are always shocked when you realize how many hours you have been there.
  • You read every day. 

If you develop any of these symptoms, read one book and call me in the morning.

    This is so true! I used to think this was rare until I started spotting all the facebook funnies relating to voracious readers – like ‘I WILL clean the house today… oh look, a book!’

Stop Biting the Tail You’re Chasing

Tolerance
"No matter in what situations we find ourselves, when we don’t have so many opinions and preferences we naturally experience more peace of mind. We feel more agreeable, more comfortable, and more able to fit in with others. When we are more tolerant, not only do our minds’ stability and experience of meditation improve, but the conduct of our body, speech, and mind also improves because we stop being so reactive."
