Taken from
http://eddings.cjb.net/You know you read to much Eddings when:1.You take sign language courses in order to be more like Silk.
2.You wonder why Barak' son Unrak was growing a beard at age nine.
3.You start calling your grandfather "Old Wolf".
4.You pick your online handle and passwords from Eddings' books.
5.You find yourself bellowing "Torak's Teeth" at the top of your lungs when something really ticks you off.
6.You finish a series and start to miss the characters.
7.You start naming your children after the characters.
8.You watch hundreds of Discovery Channel specials on Wolves in order to memorize all of their physical characteristics - and then prepare to change form.
9.Your mother threatens to confiscate all of your Eddings books if you sigh and ask "Why me?" just one more time.
10.Your mom faints after seeing that your beautiful black hair now sports a white lock just above your left brow.
11.You begin to wonder which of your friends would suit to one of Eddings' characters, in order to do a cosplay at the next Fantasy con
12. You systematically buy Eddings books for your friends' birthdays, so that you'll manage to share your madness... err, passion with all of them
13.You seriously think of adopting a little snake and hide it in your corsage
14.You spend hours walking back and forth trying to perfect the swishing of your hips.
15.You wonder if Liselle and Silk will have a boy or a girl.
16.You buy both the hard cover and the paperback release of every book.
17.You are the proud owner of the original 1984 release of the Belgariad: part one.
18.You lose sleep trying to figure out what Polgara could have named her children...
19.You get your old Barbie dolls up from the attic and make some "Polgara gowns" and "Sparhawk armor" for them on your mum's sowing machine.
20. You 're translating Homer at school and you're suddenly reminded of the fact that the siege of Rheon was a lot like the one of Troy.
21.You put all 19 Eddings fantasy books on your literature list of English in your exam year.
22. You feel very "Aphraelish" after escaping "punishment" from a teacher by simply wrapping him around your little finger.
23.You are imagining how the characters would react on computers. ( Garion: "Oh, I just had a mail from Aunt Pol." - Kalten: "Look, Sparhawk, this is a very fun game. You can chop down all the Rendors just like that." - Silk would start up an e-company and conquer the entire world wide web - Althalus would have Gher hack into some very secure sites and get very rich. - Belgarath would have even more reason not to come out of his tower anymore, and Beldin would through his out of the window everytime the thing does something he doesn't like.)
24. You go to Amsterdam just to be able to visit the Amercian bookshop where they have some very fine US editions of the Eddings books.
25.You wince when someone says they wish they could change the weather, and have to stop yourself from yelling at them for even thinking about it.
26. You get into a sticky situation, stop for a moment and think, "Now, what would Silk do?"
27.You do a double take every time you see a black cat, just to make sure it doesn't have green eyes.
28. You're taking a history test and all you can think of is the Battle of Vo Mimbre.
29.You refuse to even talk about that harlot Velvet because she stole Silk away and he belongs to you darn it! ... Ummmmmm, ahem.
30. You do your very very very best to convince all Tolkien-fanatics in your class to read Eddings instead...and succeed in it, too!!
31.Your friends look as if you've gone mad when you become completely enthusiastic when you find out that one of your fellow-students at school is called "Berit" (even though it's a girl...).
32. You go through your entire Greek dictionary to find out if there might be more words Eddings used for names (such as he did for "Danae", "Pandion" and "Sardion".)
33.You traditionally take a pocket of "Polgara the Sorceress" to all your exams because you genuinely believe that Pol's presence will help you very much with your test...
34. You start purring when you're happy, just because you've been reading "The Redemption of Althalus" too often.
