What Kind of Book Reader Are You?

I enjoyed this piece in the Atlantic examining all of the different types of "book readers". The writer breaks them up into the following categories...the hate reader, the chronological reader, the book buster, the delayed onset reader #1, the delayed onset reader #2, the book-o-phile, the anti-reader, the cross under, the multi-tasker, and the sleepy bedtime reader.

After reading all of the descriptions, I'd probably consider myself to be the chronological reader. Once I start a book, I feel compelled to finish it no matter what...and I won't pick up another one until I finish the first book.

It's the German in me.

And it's also the reason I have fifty books in a pile that need to be read.
