For many avid book lovers, being called a bookworm is more of a compliment than anything else- a title that is embraced no matter how many times we are called it. Although there is such a love, there are common problems all book lovers know all too well.

1. The constant questions

Sure, if you want to know about the book, those questions can be easily answered. But the annoyance comes in when one is trying to read and is constantly interrupted by someone talking, book related or not.

2. The hand on the page

I don't know about you, but I constantly have people who put their hands on the page and ask, "Can you read it now?"

3. Spoilers

Spoilers are the absolute worse. I'm reading the book for a reason, not for you to ruin it after I already invested sixty pages of it. During high school, did anybody else have "Of Mice and Men" ruined?

4. Borrowing books

When borrowing a book, please return it when finished and not harbor it until months later.

5. Returning books in different conditions

Although it was very much appreciated that the book was returned, but due note that the stains and wrinkled pages are something that is not.

6. Dog ears

Please do not dog ear the pages; there are plenty of other methods to remember your page.

7. Blow drying pages

Water and books tend to not mix.

8. Owning tons of bookmarks

It is like a small collection.

9. Using anything as bookmarks

But sometimes that small collection is not nearby, so you have to improvise and that is when anything can be used. A random paper, a wrapper, and sometimes perhaps a pencil.

10. Moving your bookmark

So the problem might not be that you do not have a bookmark but rather it is moved on you. You have to go to do something and place your book down to return and notice that someone moved it either forwards or backwards from the place you knew you were at.

11. "You do not need anymore books!"

This is a phrase that is all too well known as someone is constantly reminding you that you have enough books. The perfect comeback is of course, "There is never a thing as 'enough' books."

12. Being told you read too much

Again, no such thing.

13. "How can you keep the stories straight?"

For some, reading is like a sport. Reading multiple books at a time is like a piece of cake, a walk in the park. As to the question, it just happens.

14. Just one more chapter... Four chapters later

There is constantly a negotiation going on. I will just read one more chapter and then I will do my paper, or clean the room. Again, those negotiations happen a lot at night. Who needs sleep anyways?

15. Interpretations greatly differ

You cannot help it, movies are going to do things differently. Details are going to be exactly the same or something that you might feel as vital importance is going be left out. However, the annoyance is that not only was it detected, it was blatantly noticeable. Misinterpretations can happen between people, too.

16. Disagreements with artistic choices

Now it does happen. There are times, despite how beloved the author may be, that you do not agree with the direction she or he chose-- especially when it comes to favorite character dying.

17. Book clubs

Book clubs can be great; however, they can also be not so great. There are times that not everyone is caught up and then there are those that are too far ahead. Trying to mediate that balance is hard.

18. When the weight of it all just breaks

When the weight of all of your books break the shelves of your bookcase is a problem. Bookshelves are gone through like water and each time, you shelve them differently and there are times that difference did not mean anything.

19. Running out of space

Having a sturdy bookshelf is great, but then comes the problem of not having space to put your newest additions. You already have books filled on other shelves, under the bed, stacked on your desk, and next to your bed.

20. "Just read it on a kindle."

There is nothing wrong with kindles. Some like them and some do not. The idea of being able to hold the book and physically flip the pages, even the smell of the pages, that is an experience that will be different when reading on a kindle.

21. Finishing a book

Some feel a feeling of wonderment wrapping their heads around what they just finished, while others feel a feeling of sadness as if they were actually saying goodbye. But do we really say goodbye?
