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.
What kind of reader are you? Add on if you wish!
