Are you a Book Hugger, too?

Coined a new phrase today on facebook. I can honestly say I have not heard it before and it is totally MINE. Not to brag (ok so maybe a little), but it completely captures a very important aspect of my personality and maybe yours too:

The Book Hugger.

Isn't it great?

I came up with it in a sudden flash of brilliance as I described how rare it is for me to think that a movie based on a book is close to being as good as the book.  (Trust me, this practically never happens. Name off any movie you can think of that is based on the book and I will tell you why I think the book is better.)

But anyway, it prompted me to officially dub "book hugger" into the lexicon of Le Mot Juste, or in other words, those words that we are always trying to think of to perfectly describe something in the shortest way possible.

Samster's official definition -

"book hugger:
a) one who loves reading books, holding books, buying books, and living within the story-world of books;
b) one who unabashedly gushes about their obsession for reading and books;
c) one who prefers books to most other kinds of media, especially when comparing an original novel to the movie that was produced based on it;
d) a person who cringes and cries at the mere thought of any person trashing, burning, or disappreciating books in any way.
"Synonyms include: bookworm, library rat, book clubber, book geek, aspiring writer, closet poet, page turnee, word nerd, scholar, student, book store bum, speed reader.
"antonyms: book hater, ignoramus, vegetable, dictator, Nazi.
"see also: GENIUS."

Are you a book hugger, too? If you think are, let me know why you would call yourself this.
