what kind of biblio are you?

I found this list while clearing out some old newsletters & thought you'd get a kick out of it...


The following is a list of terms about books & bookish people. Which one best describes you?

BIBLIOCLAST -- somone who destroys books (gasp!)

BIBLIOKLEPT
-- someone who steals books (double gasp!)

BIBLIOMANIAC
-- someone who has an exaggerated love of books (that would be me)

BIBLIOPEGIST
-- someone who binds books; a bookbinder

BIBLIOPHAGE
-- someone who reads a lot of books (I do try)

BIBLIOPHILE
-- someone who loves books (who doesn't?)

BIBLIOPHOBE
-- someone who doesn't like books (do people like this really exist?!?)

BIBLIOPOLE
-- someone who sells rare books

BIBLIOTAPH
-- someone who hoards books ("hoards" is such a harsh word, don't you think?)
