Just because you read a lot doesn’t mean you’re an actual bookworm.
Bookworms are a special breed. They’re not just committed to their books, they’re attached.
(Like the joke around the eggs and bacon – the chicken is committed but the bacon is attached.)

Are you a real bookworm or simply a pretender? This post can help. Share on XYou may be a bookworm if …

(Actually you would choose curling up with a good book over leaving the house. Ever.)
Your favorite characters are more real to you than actual humans.
More than that, you love those characters so much you sometimes read those books over and over again. (Sometimes you wish you could crawl into the pages and live there.)
And, finally …
You may be a bookworm if you can’t bear to watch that Twilight Zone episode where the only man left in the world steps on his glasses.
