For me, it was when I used to have to get up for classes.

I have at least ONE book stashed in my desk at work, my backpack for school, under the seat of my truck (VERY useful in traffic jams)...
I refuse to do the Kindle thing...there's just something satisfying about a REAL book and turning pages...
One of these days I'm going to have to go through my books...we have a trade-in place here...hmmmm....

When someone mentions a tv show or the newest sitcom and you look at 'm dazed, cuz you haven't watched it in months except for maybe the weather or the news... (or not newspaper's better) ;)
or someone mentions a movie of some sort... and u think is that a book?

Or somebody starts talking about a movie and you nit-pick it to death about where it didn't follow the book...

When you're in a restaurant and you read the ketchup label because there's nothing else to read.

I went to my favourite Christian bookstore today and their fiction 'guru' and I were comparing notes on different books. She was giving me recommendations, I was giving her recommendations. It was great! Then the store manager who'd been standing nearby told the girl to go and get a book by Francine Rivers that I'd never read before and GAVE it to me! WOOHOO! That was the last thing I expected to happen! Now that's what I call unexpected service!

... when your earliest child pictures shows you sucking your thumb... while reading your book.
... when the fire department comes out, and have to insist on you putting the book down and exit the building.
... when in college your bed was held up by books instead of the fashionable milk crates.
... when your library consistently have to kick you out.
... when the library comes to you to see if you have access to a specific manuscript or book
... when your children never have to worry about finding you. Just look in the bookstore or library.
... when Halloween involves handing booklets out to children
... when no one wonders what to get you for birthdays, anniversaries, Christmas, etc. Books.

For me, it wasn't college, but I do have boxes of books under the bed which have been moved to the really saggy bits to keep the bed held up a bit better.
I have handed out bible tracts during halloween.
People know to buy me books for Christmas, birthdays etc. The thing is trying to find one that I haven't already read.

You need a separate storage facility to hold all your books.
People start coming to you to borrow books instead of the library.

flu my mum wanted to get me books but she had no clue of what I had read or hadn't. So she called me and spent like 30 minutes going through each book, "How about this one? Have you read this one? No? Grab it, Thing 1! She hasn't read it!"
