I can't call anything else right off my head.
Average amount of time it takes you to finish a book: that depends on 1)the length of book 2)the language (I read in 3 languages) 3)genre of the book (I finished a family saga of similar length as Ulysses six times faster). But on a general, completely average book of ~350 pages it would take ~6 hours.
How many of the above symptoms you regularly experience: >I never quote anything. Ever. It is just in the soul of me to never quote anyone.
>I don't talk to random strangers, but I usually tell that to people that brought me with them to cinema.
>Yes, quite so.
>I have laughed and cried at the book, and I have rolled my eyes and sighed a few times, but I've never screamed at the book. And also I hate people who abuse books. No matter the quality, I make it of myself to always be careful about books. When my classmate once threw a book over the class, screamed that she will never ever read it because it's so stupid, I went to the book, took it for myself and read it. Yes, it had some sad twists, but every book deserves love.
>Three AM? Pfft, that's kid's stuff! What about "Oh wow, I have to get ready for school!", hmm?
>Happened a few times with shorter romance books.
>Um... I would not say I fell in love with him... It's more like a little attraction. Little. BELIEVE ME!
