Scarecrow
You’ll read anything. You don’t care. You’re easy. Might not
remember it tomorrow. Might not get the story. No biggie. It’s a book and
that’ll do. It feels nice in your hands and there’s nothing like that book
smell…unless of course you’re reading a Kindle.
:D
Cowardly Lion
You’re a closet reader. You have a hard time admitting that
you’ve read Gone with the Wind seven
times. What would others think? So you stick to one genre, afraid to branch
out. Sadly, you’re also unwilling to discuss your real thoughts at book club.
Tentative about even attending your book club meetings.
Dorothy
Bring it home. That’s what you’re wanting every time you
open a book. You hunt for a theme, though find yourself readily confused by the
startling set of characters you come across. Can you trust the story arc? The
tension? The characters to guide you? Please, bring it home. Because after all…
Tin Man
Encyclopedias will do just fine for you, thank you. Well, that
and every other written thing. Reading for you is all about the details. The
experience includes learning new vocabulary, digging in to check the accuracy
of research novels, and dissecting every facet the book offers.
Glinda
You’re a thoughtful reader through and through, applying
character growth to your own life. And look at how kind you are loaning out books
to your friends and family. You might as well establish a library with how
readily you give and ask for nothing in return. “Follow the fellow’s Nook
upload.” (Yeah, I tried. You try rhyming that bad boy.)
Wicked Witch
You want revenge. For the character in the novels you read,
of course. You plot. Seethe. And wait until the climactic moment when alas the
price is paid for killing your sister. No, no! The antagonist is
melting…melting.
Wizard
You want a different ending. You discuss the book you’re reading
with all your friends, insisting you could write a better version. Careful now,
your head is so big and green someday you just might be called out for the charlatan
you really are.
Munchkin
You’re content just to have a book in your hands. Joyful. And
you’ll sing the praises of anything that entertains you. Ding-dong. Conscious she
says is the name of the start. (Okay, so not born to rhyme. Good thing becoming
a rap artist is not on my bucket list.)
Do tell, which Oz reader are you most like?
