Someone who has read the books of a popular movie or TV series. These people will generally laud it over "watchers" with comments like "I knew that was going to happen" or "it was way better in the book" or "If you think this is good, you should read the books"

They can generally be spotted as being the ones pulling out their camera phones to record "reaction videos" at a crucial moment during a critical episode of a movie or TV episode (a la the Game of Thrones 'Red Wedding' reaction video phenom) -- thus generally giving away to the "lesser people" that shit is about to get hectic.

Don't be that guy.

How can you tell if someone is a reader?

DON'T WORRY, THEY'LL TELL YOU.

Reader.

A sick individual. Killed my mom. I always knew he was the real deal, but his internet antics made me think he was all fun and games. I thought he was COOL

Reader. has been all over the web. He goes by several different names and has been banned from every board he posts at.

Reader's Block

Related to Writer's Block, this is when you cannot, for the life of you, pick up a book and read it. Sure, you may be able to read a paragraph or two, or maybe even a page, but you don't retain anything of what you just read or have the attention span and/or will to go on. This is common for those who have ADD, are in possession of garbage literature, or are just so exhausted from having to read so many books during school/college that reading anything else, even for pleasure, has become impossible. To those who love to read, this is worse than heart disease and cancer combined.

Eddie - Hey, man, I see you're reading McCarthy's The Road. Nice.

Nerdlinger - I'm trying to read it, but I got this damn reader's block! I'm 20 pages in but I don't remember anything. Fuck!

Eddie - Poor bastard.
