That sounds like Fahrenheit 451, all right - people were called by the names of the books they'd memorised.

...the truth just doesn't seem strange anymore.

...if you've ever--ever--had your school's English Lit books taken away, or your history books, or science...come to think of it I think the only book they let me keep was the math book.

... you think "What a page turner!!!" When life gets fast-paced and hectic.

Re: You know you're addicted to fiction if...

Lol I'm hunting homonyms. Or a faith I can sink my teeth into

I was remembering the first time I auditioned for the school musical. I thought that I should show up without having glanced at the script, and by the time I was done reciting it with all the appropriate emotional kicks, the montage would be spinning to a close on packed seats of people cheering me on.

But I also still thought kissing was all it took to get a happily ever after.

nnnn but a flashy song and dance number or a dragon flying over head is a good clue its coming.

when I met my One True Love I could have sworn fireworks were going off in my chest, because breathing was suddenly problematic, and normally (not to brag or anything) I'm a very good breather.

You wouldn't guess it, but I have a pretty nasty snarl.

You might be addicted to fiction if you tell your loved ones that you are picturing them in your current read, and its supposed to convey to them how much they mean to you.

Some how "I keep reading aragon as you." Doesn't have the ring to it I was hoping for.

... it's been 5-6 years since you read the book, and your still capable of debating the minute details of it.
