Habits Of The Common Bookworm 1) Mispronouncing words because you've only ever read them. Wait... "Co-lo-nel" is "Kernel?" 2) Ability to maneuver crowds without looking up. 3) A particular affinity for the smell of ink and paper. This should be a perfume. 4) Building cozy nests for reading.

What can be really odd is when you’ve HEARD words AND read them, but never knew they were the same word.I was that way with epitome for a long time.

Actually, there is a perfume that smells like books. It’s called “Paper Passion”.

I think “colonel” is French in origin, so it’s actually pronounced “co-lo-nel” (accent on the “nel”) – I’m not 100% sure about that, though…

For most of my life, I thought ‘calliope’ was pronounced ‘Callie-ohpe’
