Laura E. Kelly created this marvelous Linnean-style classification chart of over 50 species of reader. It’s very thorough; I’ll be surprised if you can’t find yourself somewhere on this chart. Most of us regular readers are probably crossbreeds. I’m a true mutt myself, with touches of Hoader, Library Lover, Re-reader, Spoiler, Comfort Reader, Audiobook Listener, Kindle (e-reader) Convert, and Cross-under, plus a smattering of unidentifiable species.

Wow, this is fantastic! Thanks for sharing this, need to read the chart over carefully to see where I fall, lol
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Fun, huh? I definitely fall in a whole bunch of categories.

Ummm..I am a mutt, I fall under so many categories and read so many genres..hehehe
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
Well, hello, fellow mutt! (Mutts make the best readers, anyway.) 😉

Ha ha, I love this! I’m a re-reading, multitasking book worshipper. But mostly, I’m a sleepy bedtime reader who does exactly as the chart says: I fall asleep with the lights on and the book on my face 🙂
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
At least the book is on your face. It’s usually the other way ’round for me. 🙂

I’m a mutt too. 😀
This is a really interesting and fun chart.
Lark @ The Bookwyrm's Hoard
It is, isn’t it? I couldn’t resist posting it!

How fun is this!? I’m a chronological reader, underliner/scribbler (when reading for school), re-reader (it’s a problem), book swagger, kindle convert, and book snob (I like hype, okay??)
Thanks so much for sharing!

You’re welcome; I’m glad you enjoyed it! BTW, I love re-reading, so I don’t see it as a problem.
