According to this online quiz, I apparently am. Well, of sorts:
Take the quiz and report back. It would be an interesting exercise in the demographics of my readership (assuming I have one). And remember: there are no wrong answers. Only ignorant ones. Did that sound snobby?

Whoops–was that a Freudian slip above. Actually, I rated an “obsessive compulsive” bookworm, not a self-obsessed bookworm, but maybe it’s who you ask.
By the way, in thinking about the quiz, I think it only uses the term “obsessive compulsive” if you carry books with you all the time like I do. But who wants to sit in a doctor’s office reading last year’s magazines, right? It’s just always made sense to me to have books with me for any downtime.

I am a book snob, and as such, I will not comment any further on plebian web sites like this.

What Kind of Reader Are You?
Your Result: Obsessive-Compulsive Bookworm

OK, I’m scared now. How did it know…

I rated a self-obsessed bookworm, and the description is chillingly accurate. I\’ll have to post this on my blog now.
By the way, the links in your comments field have been tied to the quiz. It took me four or five tries (I finally tabbed from the URL line) just to enter this comment without being directed back to the quiz again.
