Buying every book written by an author as soon as it hits the stores-fan
Haunting the bookshops to see if anyone accidentally shelved a new title prior to the book's release date--fanatic
Discussing an author or specific book with friends-fan
Trying to talk about same book or author with strangers on the street--fanatic
Joining book groups to discuss books and learn about new titles or authors-fan
Trying to peek at the title of a book that the stranger on the bus (or gym, or doctor's office...) is reading--fanatic
Watching your favorite decorating show and trying to read the titles of the books on the shelves-fan
Refusing to ever watch said decorating show again when the decorator stacks books to hold up vases or removes dust jackets from books because "the books look neater"--fanatic
