Types of Readers

 I found this picture a couple of weeks ago, on one of the Facebook pages I follow. A list and definition of the types of readers there are. I found it interesting, true in many ways, although I don't think one belongs to just one type. I am very much a Book Collector for instance: buying books is almost a compulsion. But I am also a Loyalist to some authors and novels, as well as a Chaotic Reader, as I have read more than one book at once. I used to be a Tracker, but not so much anymore. And a Mood Reader, sometimes. Anyway, tell me what you think of this list. What type of reader are you, if any?

I'm a mood reader and a loyalist. There are a few authors I enjoy reading, usually fiction. I like to mix that with non fiction. I read about photographers and photography books. I find that relaxing and it works well for me.

I'm not any of those types. These days I'm just a sporadic reader, I'm afraid.

Definitely a chaotic reader when I do read. Maybe call me a hybrid chaotic/mood reader, even though right now I'm only reading one book.
