Ok, that quiz tells me I'm an Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm,
I'm not even close to completing a PhD, i'm still on my BSc, hmm, guess the quiz is quite accurate since I cant sleep at night unless I read at least one chapter of a book before retiring, and yes my work does invole a lot of reading.

A Dedicated Reader they called me, which surprised me somewhat. These days my time is shared between being a dedicated reader and a dedicated writer. The hours I used to spend reading have inevitably dropped of late for the work involved in getting my novels published.

Yep...Mystery it is. That is my favorite genre.

Ha-Ha, Kellie,
and mine --- For both reading and writing.

I'm a Literate Good Citizen

I am a dedicated reader as well.

What Kind of Reader Are You?
Your Result: Dedicated Reader

You are always trying to find the time to get back to your book. You are convinced that the world would be a much better place if only everyone read more.

Literate Good Citizen. Wow that sounds boring! I'm forming a support group for those of us with this label who don't think we're boring. (I'll be out doing good deeds, so just start without me)

I'm a Dedicated reader

I would consider myself a Literate Good Citizen as well and I think I am anything but boring! I read many genres. I guess I would have to say the one I read the least is romance everything esle gets pretty equal time depending on my mood!

Sunflower - I'm all in for the support group!

I'm a Literate Good Citizen too

I'm an Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm, which is relatively true. I thought I would be more of a Snob so that was surprising. :)

Dedicated reader

I'm a dedicated reader too!

Literate Good Citizen. Though I'm reading the classics now as we didn't do many at school.
Next top three were book snob, dedicated reader and obsessive compulsive bookworm - I like these better.

I'm an obsessive-compulsive bookworm, with a close second in dedicated reader. = )

Dedicated Reader as well and i am also aparently a obsessive compulsive bookworm LOL!!!

Dedicated Reader.
That is so true. I am a self proclaimed book nerd.

Dedicated Reader - but Like Lanica my results showed Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm and Literate Good Citizen as seeming about the same percentage with DR. I'm sure my friends would confirm all!

Literate Good Citizen

Dedicated Reader, highest Obsessive Compulsive Bookworm and Literate Good Citizen

Dedicated Reader, but also quite a bit of Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm.

Literate Good Citizen. Pretty true.

You read to inform or entertain yourself, but you're not nerdy about it. You've read most major classics (in school) and you have a favorite genre or two.

I was robably only a question or two away from Dedicated Reader.

Judging by everyone else's responses this group is full of people with the similar readers! Yay!

Your Result: Dedicated Reader

My Literate Good Citizen & Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm are right up there too. Yikes!!

Mine came up dedicated reader also, which certainly fits me. I am never without a book. I have a bed book, a reading chair book, a car book, and several books in my backpack.

Dedicated reader all the way!

Literate Good Citizen. Pretty accurate I just don't have as much time to read as I would like to. It'd be so nice to dedicate a year of my life to reading as much as I could. Yet with society I don't have that time which is sad!

Mine, in order were:

Dedicated Reader
O.C. Bookworm
Book Snob

Sounds right to me!

I thought so...

I've had my results for a long time, but hadn't gotten around to posting them. How does it know me so well??



Edit: Although my own grammatical mistakes make me more insane than those of other people.

Way to go with the graph, Luann!

Ya - How did you get the graph in here. The best that I could do was post it to my FB page.

I took a screen shot and cropped it, then uploaded it to Photobucket, then posted the link to it here. Magic. :)

Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm. Not surprising really, with all the rest of my OCD issues. Though grammatical mistakes don't bother me too much, I don't have enough of an attention span for them I guess...

My chart looks just like Luann's, except I have both Fad & Non-Reader bars blank : ) I think I'll just pop over and check out her shelves ; )

I work a menial factory job. On lunch break, when I surface, reading Zola or Dostoevsky, I'm ridiculed beyond belief. What bother's me is'nt the laughter, it's what they are missing. The stunning words of Silvia Plath's poetry would see me beaten black and blue. I don't know what kind of reader I am, but I am sure I dote on the written word.

Kudos to you Adam. You've come to the right website, it's full of like-minded people.

Although it was very close with obsessive-compulsive bookworm, which could also apply to me very very easily.

What a fun survey! I'm an Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm. No surprises there for me. I'm going to have my daughter (13 years old) take the survey - she's a budding obsessive-compulsive bookworm I'm sure.

i'm a obsessive-compulsive book worm also. i love reading!

Yay for the fellow factory worker. Hi Adam!
When I'm not chasing away my co-workers trails of laughter at my own selection of reading matter. I go find Brian in the loading bay. The man looks like Bruce Springsteen in a beanie and a freezer coat, & he talks pure sugar to the mind with his knowledge of books. NOBODY messes with Brian and his books. Just let me know if you need to borrow him for a while, I'll see what I can do ;)

Adam wrote: "Thanks Cam, LOL, but have girlfriend. May I ask, what your reading matter is, and y it is laughed at. "

Brian's Wife, Children & many Grandchildren may be very concerned as to me offering his services in any way that requires a 'but have girlfriend' reaction. Woops! - I'll be chuckling for a while to come.
The main reason I guess my co-workers laugh is because of the variation in author, setting, era, & subject of the books I choose these days (was once purely mystery/thriller). Many of the people I work with that do read (and there are many), are not what you would call pick-a-shelfers or Xtreme readers like the very wild group here ;) They have a reading formula and they stick to it fairly stringently. NO Exceptions! which is absolutely fair enough. They laugh at me because I'm forever saying I read this great book, you should read it, the narrator is Death or God or it was written in 1961 or it's about the children's crusade of 1212 or Aspergers or a translation club led by Longfellow bought together to work on Dante's Inferno. What! Cam.....are you kidding!
I will not give up, they very clearly need me to continue to provide them with light entertainment and/or a scratching post.
Haven't tried Plath though at home or at work, now that takes courage!

Don't worry either Adam as I am assuming that you meant that your girlfriend was more than capable of fightening your bullies away. But I didn't want to call her frightening as we've only just met. And it's awful to call your girlfriend frightening when she is quite clearly perfect as she has you. And you are a factory worker that reads Plath. See Perfect!

Thankyou Adam, sometimes I think I write too much like I talk, and I could talk under water. As far as you failing to write well, you've managed to make me laugh & empathise with your circumstance all at the same time. You've also convinced me I should put Sylvia Plath on my shopping list. Not everyone can do that in a few sentences. I think your selling yourself short.
In regards to Aspergers, many a brilliant mind is an aspergian mind.
And in regard to your taste in reading being classics, you've even managed to join us here in the ideal month.

Looks like I am a Dedicated Reader, followed very closely by Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm (which I thought would be the winner).

Dedicated Reader. I'm boring.

I'm the dedicated reader...

I'm not feeling that at the moment but if he test says so!

I'm a dedicated reader and Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm is a very close second

I'm a dedicated reader with Obsessive-Compulsive book worm practically tied behind. Not a bit surprised ;-)
