What is 'Book Eccentric'? I’ve had
this question thrown at me a few times, so I figured it was time to write a
blog post about it and share with everyone what the name of this blog really
means.
I came up with the term Book Eccentric because it
defines a certain group of people who obsess over books and their
play on words et cetera, and although the term may not make much sense at first
utterance, it is intended to make you pause and consider its meaning before you
come to a conclusion.
I love books and I love reading them. Reading takes me to a
different sphere and does really amazing things to my mind. Undoubtedly, there
are people who feel exactly the same way I do about books, but admittedly we
aren’t in the majority. Because of our unique love for books, we are considered
nerds, aesthetic, even eccentric.
Think about the word eccentric. Used either as a verb
or a noun, it is defined as something or someone unusual, quirky, weird, even
abnormal. Now there are people who love books, and there are others who loove books.
These latter group are obsessed with them; their feelings toward books could be
termed abnormal to the outside world, but totally normal within ‘their kind’.
Their feelings go beyond a mere love for reading and further dwells on their
appreciation of literature as an art. Their attitude with books are totally
eccentric. They’re not simply book nerds… they’re Book Eccentrics.

Book Eccentrics dwell more on the arrangement of words and their meaning, how they change the way we
experience things, and even the way we see ourselves. Book Eccentrics
are aesthetically aware of the beauty that lies in the crafting of words that bring awareness, and
are appreciative of the authors that put these words together. Book
Eccentrics long to give others the opportunity to see what they see by sharing
what they've learned through reading. In simpler terms, Book Eccentrics are high-end book nerds!
