I always knew there were different types of writers. Plotters. Pansters. Plantsers. Those who write at lightning speed and those who plod along and enjoy the scenery along the way. But I never knew there were different types of readers, and I certainly never guessed I'd have to one day confess to being a polygamist, but, uh, yep, that's the kind of reader I am. What are you?

The 6 Types of Readers

MONOGAMIST
This kind of person reads one book at a time. Period. Cover to cover, never veering off course to even peek at the first page of another novel.

POLYGAMIST
A reader of this persuasion has their nose stuck in several books at once. I know. What hussies, right? Well there's too many books and so little time, I tell ya.

EXTROVERT
You know those people who read anything in front of their face? Like milk cartons, the back of a dental floss container, or even the washing instructions on the tag of their tee-shirt? They have a name. They are called extrovert readers.

INTROVERT
This person not only sticks to one book but to one genre as well. We're talking vanilla city here, folks. An introvert ponders, analyzes and frequently obsesses over one book at a time.

ALTRUISTIC
These are the cheerleaders of the readerly bunch. They sing the praises of the books they've read, recommending titles to anyone and everyone.

NEUROTIC
We're talking ADD, folks. This reader can't finish a book because they're too distracted and switch books mid-stream.
