I must admit guilt to all of these. Here are a few more of my own.
You know you're addicted when...
...you call in "sick" to work because you're at the climax of your book and you stayed up all night to read it and still have 2 chapters left.
...you get "rewards" from Borders for ordering so much.
...you have 3 copies of so many books because you're afraid that you may lose one or lend it and not have it returned when you wish to re-read it.
...your local bookstore salespeople fight over who gets to help you because they know they're getting a fat commission.
...every conversation you have starts with "Have you read..."
...everyone you know calls you to ask your opinion before purchasing a book because they just know you've already read it at least once.
...your Amazon wish list is 7 pages long and there are only 2 items on it that aren't books (and they're bookmarks).
...you forget what your spouse looks like while you're reading, and then look at them as if they've been away for a week when you finally finish your book.
...you buy 2 copies of a book so that you can have one at home and one in your car "just in case".
...you make your friends and relatives fill out a form before loaning any book to them.
...you have to consult your financial advisor before making a trip to the bookstore.
...you only go to the mall when you're heading to the bookstore even though you need shoes and socks and clothes.
...you've gotten frostbite from the bathwater getting too cold because you were too engrossed in your book to remember to get out of the tub.
...you're nodding you head as you read each of these and thinking "I've done that!"
