You are a confirmed book addict when Your moods are governed by what you are reading at present - so you end up yelling at the kids because you were upset after reading the Kite Runner or there is a skip in your step because you discovered a beautiful little book called The Secret History (Donna Tartt) in the second hand bookshop you often like to visit and in your life there havent been many gloomy days that P.G. Wodehouse hasnt been able to brighten. You create your very own social pecking order on the basis of what people read.... For instance, you can never ever really be friends with someone who claims to enjoy Chetan Bhagat! And you seriously evaluate your relationship with a friend because the said person couldnt stop raving about Eat, Pray, Love; a book that you found utterly disappointing and not to mention, a complete waste of time, effort and money. The only sin more unpardonable than not having read the Lord of the Rings or To Kill a Mocking bird or the Colour Purple, is not having heard of any of them! Naturally people who do not read/ like to read are, in your social pyramid, placed somewhere between those with a missing brain and those with STDs. “Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them.” — Lemony Snicket
