What only seven quirks? Well I guess I will pick some book related ones.
- I use a portable iPod stereo so I can listen to books while shaving and taking a shower.
- I made a custom book stand that I use in my bathroom (a.k.a. library) and I bet I have read more books in bathrooms than many people have read in their whole life. In fact I think I have read more books in chow lines aboard ships than many people have read in their lives.
- I get author centric. If I find a new author I really like I read everything I can from their catalog and read a bunch of their books in a row.
- I usually have three books going at once. One to listen to on my iPod while working/driving, a novel, and some spiritual reading. And of course there is the Liturgy of the Hours.
- Because that is not enough reading I also subscribe to podcast novels not to mention numerous podcasts.
- Currently my aggregator has 476 RSS feeds and about 80 percent of them are Catholic blogs. I remember when I could read all the Catholic blogs during lunch, but that was six years ago.
- I hate getting rid of books even if I have run out of room to store them. Books are friends and you don't dump your friends.
Now as to seven of my favorite blogs. Sorry I have too many favorites. So if you want to do this meme consider yourself tagged.

Wow... I'm impressed!
I agree about the statement "Books are friends and you don't dump your friends".
I always feel ashamed like right now when I have friends who are in 2 piles about 4 feet high looking for a place to live in which I can't give them. But they will just have to wait there until the day I get more room so that they too can have a good place to live.
"I get author centric. If I find a new author I really like I read everything I can from their catalog and read a bunch of their books in a row."
Is this a quirk? Just shows we don't know our own idiosyncracies. I do this all the time and thought it was normal.
"I hate getting rid of books even if I have run out of room to store them. Books are friends and you don't dump your friends."
My wife doens't like the fact that I have so many friends.
