No two readers are the same. From trendsetters who make sure they get their hands on whats popular to the crusaders of classics we have either seen them or are one of them. There is also the obsessive reader who insists on finishing what they have started, the hoarder who barely reads but hoards, the re-reader who has separation anxiety from their favourite book, the loyalist who finds out all the literary works (even the journals) of their favourite author… and the list goes on.
If all this book talk has left you wondering which category you belong to, how would you like to take a quiz to find out?
Heres how to go about it:
Are you ready for this?
Now, do some of that basic mathematics. Got the scores handy? Then continue reading!
The results are in, folks!
Do you agree with the results? Even if you dont, the point is that you have taken the quiz and reached this part of the article. This means we are all united by our collective love for books here. Books make the best gifts and reading will forever be one of the most fruitful habits. So this National Reading Day, tell us what your current read is and why you love it.

Current Read: Elantris by Brandon Sanderson.
After reading MOST of his novels, I’d to get my hands on his very first debut novel that again churns up a new world of magic, wonderful characters, great action sequences and ofcourse his master story telling that grips you up every step of the way. A definitive read.

I’m absolutely a bookworm. I totally relate to each and everything mentioned here. I loved the part where you relate an individual with your favorite fictional character. That’s where I was glued to. I stuck to that point and my brain wandered everywhere to get hold of my current fictional character.
As far as my current read, I’m reading Secret Son by Laila Lalami. It’s a contemporary Moroccan tale. This book talks about Youssef El-Mekki who was brought up by his single mother in shady and shabby places of Casablanca to go on live with his rich businessman aka dead father who turns out to be alive. The life of Youssef takes a turnaround as his city is hit by a group of terrorists. The book emphasizes cultural conflicts, gender, diversity, and political conflicts among Islamic states. I totally enjoyed the read as it gave me a glimpse of Morocco and the psychological aspects of families and so on.
I’m a highbrow and a xenophile who loves to explore the world, try out various cuisines, and most importantly learn a new language

I am a shuffler, trying to be a book worm!! Currently, I am reading “Train to Pakistan”. I bought this book long back. From the title I imagined that the book must be full of violence and hence I placed it in quarantine for more than a year. During this lockdown, I made up my mind and gave it a good start. I never knew that I loved history. I must agree that I started searching for more historical Novels and writings. All thanks to Khushwant Singh.

Hey! So, I am currently reading this really interesting book called “The Night Circus”. I have been having it in my Goodreads “Books to Read” folder for quite some time now. Had heard a lot about it, the magic in the words, the magic in the story which takes your imagination to a whole new level. It’s pretty exciting to read that book so far. The characters are really interesting and the way this story builds up is something that has the potential to keep any reader fixed to it.

This is how I had been read by.You got my back. I was literally thinking at first as what will be the prediction of the type of reader anyone can be.But when I come across the icons contain the perfect examples of how a reader want to convey about them. A reader is no one but just an explorer.Explore new places either can be known by going there or just by reading about it from the books. So be an explorer. Who you are, what you are watching on daily basis, where you are, these all are habitual and obvious but just come out from that world to find a new world just by reading a new book or by knowing a new Language. I hope so you get my point. Love reading this. Encourage reading to be gotten the best healer for you.
