I'm trying to think if I have the habit of examining other people's bookshelves, and I think I don't have it badly (probably because I have an excessive discomfort with being in someone else's space). However, I do have a lot of friends who gravitate immediately to my shelves, and I totally don't mind that. ^^
Reading fast is strange. I'm always aware that I'm a very fast reader (although not the fastest I know, and probably not as fast as I used to be), but I think it's because while I was growing up everyone made such a big deal of it--usually people I didn't like, like classmates who'd stop by my desk every hour or so and *stare* at my book to see how many pages I'd gone through since their last stare. So it's a weird facet of my identity now. :/
