154. 1. Someone with the heart of a reader is already a reader, enjoys reading,
and turns to reading on a regular basis as an activity they prefer.
2. Someone with the heart of a reader does not need extrinsic motivation.
No points, pizza, or other incentives are needed.
3. Someone with the heart of a reader tends to have friends who have
reader hearts, too. They enjoy taking about books they have read,
comparing notes.
4. Someone with the heart of a reader reads up and down and sideways.
Sometimes they turn to books that are easy reads, and occasionally they
challenge themselves, too. While they have comfort books, they read
widely as well.
5. Someone with the heart of a reader recognizes that books entertain,
inform, provoke, and touch them deep in those hearts. They know books
can elicit laughter, tears, rage, and the full range of emotions.
