15 Things Book-Lovers Do Better Than Anyone Else


Book lovers are similar to ordinary people in certain ways. We talk, walk around, and eat bread, among other things. However, if you spend enough time with a true bookworm, you'll notice a few key differences. A book lover, for example, would rather live in a large cardboard box surrounded entirely by hardcovers than spend their money on rent or food. Bookworms usually claim to be "disappointed" that they won't be able to attend your boyfriend's cover band competition when, in reality, they would rather stay at home and read. There are a few hidden talents that every bookworm possesses, so here are a few things that bookworms do better than anyone else.


Bookworms, on the other hand, tend to keep their secret superpowers hidden the majority of the time. We don't brag about our ability to find 99 cent paperbacks within a five-mile radius of any given location. We're not trying to make other people feel bad; we just know how to eat spaghetti and read without getting sauce on the pages. We'd never tell anyone how good we were at rereading the same book over and over again without getting bored.


But, just in case you forgot, here are a few things that bookworms excel at:

Notice every change between book and movie

Even if we enjoy the film adaptation, most bookworms make mental (or literal) notes on every scene, character, and line of dialogue that differs from the book. We may forget birthdays and keys, but we will never forget every Ron line given to Hermione in the film. The same can be said for television shows. If you don't want to hear my long thoughts on the Dorne plotline, don't watch Game of Thrones with me.

Pull all-nighters

Book lovers will go for long periods of time without food, sleep, or social interaction if the book is good enough. All we need is a flashlight and a good book to keep us company until morning. We may not be great at getting to work on time the next day, but we don't let a little thing like lack of sleep keep us from reading.

Focus on while on the train/bus/airplane

So what if we miss a few stops here and there? Bookworms are masters at obliterating the so-called "real world." While we prefer peace and quiet, we can read just about anywhere in a pinch (which also makes us excellent at avoiding eye contact with strangers).

Keep a well-loved book together by sheer force of willpower

What others may regard as a jumble of papers, we regard as a cherished member of the family. Some bookworms are more sentimental about their books than others, but all bookworms are naturally gifted at re-reading damaged and "well-loved" books. A bookworm's best friend is tape.

Daydream

Even when we aren't actively reading, bookworms have highly developed imaginations. It's difficult to read a lot and not become a thoughtful, creative person as a result. All of that literature provides the fuel your mind requires to gaze dreamily out the window on a rainy day or to spend a calculus lecture daydreaming about being married to Mr. Darcy.

Follow two (or five) plots at once

Some readers prefer to read one book at a time, but the majority of us have mastered the ability to jump from plot to plot without missing a beat. We have our ongoing re-reads, book club reads, new hardcover releases, and pocket-sized paperbacks for when you don't want to carry a large bag. And we can tell you exactly what's happening in each one.

Balance books in unusual positions

Of course, bookworms prefer to read in a comfortable chair or on a beautiful park bench beneath a cherry tree. But we manage. We're all pros at balancing books while eating, cooking, exercising, brushing our teeth, and doing all the other annoying things that come up when we're in the middle of a wonderful chapter.

Apply literature to life

Being a bookworm can be aggravating at times. You just want to explain to other people how Shakespeare, George R.R. Martin, or Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie perfectly encapsulates all of your feelings about a particular political issue, but they don't seem to get it. That's fine, bookworms. Your ability to see how literature represents real life and vice versa is a skill, and you're not crazy to think that books can help you understand the real world better. After all, fiction does make you more empathic.

Find the ideal reading spot

Readers have a sixth sense when it comes to finding cozy reading spots. We're scouting coffee shops, parks, and window seats for optimum reading comfort wherever we go. We've engineered peak reading comfort with a cup of tea and a purring cat.

Walk and read

Walking and reading is an activity that should only be attempted by veteran book-lovers. But for those elite few, walking and reading is as natural as walking and talking. Just make sure you look both ways at the crosswalk if you're planning to try this one at home.

Write

Not everyone who enjoys books aspires to be a published novelist. However, most readers are better writers: whether they're writing a story, a blog post, or a text message, readers have a natural sense of language, imagery, and where to put commas.

Fall madly in love with fictional characters

Okay, so this isn't exactly a talent... but bookworms do it better than anyone else. Literary crushes are enticing because the reader has complete control over imagining what their ideal date would look like, how they would wear their hair, smell, and so on. People who are smitten with TV characters, take a step back.

Budget for maximum book buying

We're going to the library, as you can see. We ask our parents to lend us books. We rummage through the used bookstore. However, there are times when you simply must spend money on a new release, and this is where bookworms become budgeting experts. If we can get our hands on that gleaming new hardcover, we'll happily forego eating out, fancy cocktails, and potentially electricity.

Find inventive book storage solutions

Those shelves are quickly filling up, dude. Then it's time to get creative. Anyone who enjoys reading knows how difficult it is to cram an infinite number of books into a finite amount of space. Fortunately, most of us are geniuses at stowing books under the bed, in the unused oven, and behind already-on-the-shelf books (double-shelving, anyone?).

Read

Well, of course. However, some bookworms are unaware of their reading abilities. It is a skill to be able to read. It takes a skill to comprehend what you read rather than just skimming it. Not everyone is capable of turning scribbles on a page into exciting adventures and epic romances. A book is only as good as the reader's imagination, and bookworms are pretty good at it.
