That's awesome! She would probably conclude from mine that I am very messy, like girly shower curtains, and have books on every flat surface available, all of which is correct ;).
Well, sometimes people aren't ashamed of their shelves but I end up being judgmental anyhow... (you have no idea how many times people have recced The Da Vinci Code to me). I mean, I figure reading things in general is better than not, even if they are things that I don't necessarily like.
I'm trying to think if I have the habit of examining other people's bookshelves, and I think I don't have it badly (probably because I have an excessive discomfort with being in someone else's space). However, I do have a lot of friends who gravitate immediately to my shelves, and I totally don't mind that. ^^
Reading fast is strange. I'm always aware that I'm a very fast reader (although not the fastest I know, and probably not as fast as I used to be), but I think it's because while I was growing up everyone made such a big deal of it--usually people I didn't like, like classmates who'd stop by my desk every hour or so and *stare* at my book to see how many pages I'd gone through since their last stare. So it's a weird facet of my identity now. :/
It's from a fractal set posted to obsessiveicons--I just poked around the memories, but couldn't find the post right off. :/ There're a lot of really nice icons in it, though.
Re: 14a: There are people who *don't* do that? Huh.
Re: 14b: Yep. For me it's shelving and alphabetizing, though. I cannot stop myself from reshelving something that's been put in the wrong section, and then from telling the folks at the counter what I did in case they had it listed incorrectly in the computer system.
