Anyone else have a book addiction???

The ones you haven't read - either read them or don't - either way take them back to a used bookstore and sell them back. It really has a lot to do with self-restraint. I love going into bookstores and I am very much tempted to buy books - but I (usually) manage not to. So either practice self-restraint or completely avoid bookstores all together and sign up for a library card and borrow the books.

well you known i think you have a problem haha.. oh i keep forgetting to ask you if you want one book i had in the ebay/yard sale thing that i think might be romance im not sure.. im gonna hook you up with that magazine too.. although should i be insulted you never ask to borrow my books?? lol

I am one. But at present, I cannot take care of that because I am not working, there is no other monies except for a few dollars I get here and there. I also have to pay off my library card and things are pretty hard to handle that addiction, but I sure feel the pain.

i wouldn't go as far as say that i have a book addiction but i do read a lot. currently, i'm reading 2 books and i've always found time to read a chapter or two from each book. i also bring wherever i go. i found this to be a good way to kill the time especially when i'm in line in the bank or in the grocery. anyway, i usually shop for books at a local bookstore that offers discounts so the books that i buy don't take up much of my budget. anyway, reading is a good hobby and i actually favor it over watching tv or playign mindless pc games. just my thoughts. cheers!!!

Actually, I'm a book addict. But, I'm very busy with my college right now. So, I almost left my reading hobby.

I know the feeling. I love books. Once I start a book I can't stand to put it down til i finish it. My kids have learned not to talk to mommy while she is reading.I can block out the rest of the world while i read. I am able to emerse myself in the story and sail away for awhile. This is my escape. I never read a book just once. It is read at least three times. I have had books i could just open anywhere and be able to know exactly whats going on. I just recently moved and don't have a car and am stuck in the house with only 4 books. I'm about to go nuts. So yea i would support a group for book addicts.

Hey pheonixstar! Yes, we should really create a support group, where we gather in a circle, and proudly proclaim, "Yes I'm a book addict since I was 4 years old; the last time I read a book was an hour ago, before I went to work. I have a book stashed in my purse so I can read during my lunch hour. And I have books scattered all over my room."..LOL Yes, I'm a book addict just like you. I love to read, I go crazy over certain series and authors. If I'm not reading I'm online talking about books, and looking for more books to read. I'm afraid to visit the bookstore because I might spend all my money and my family will starve..LOL...Thanks good ness for excellent libraries with great selections, or I will go crazy if I don't get my daily book fix...

Well, I do like to read books and collect books, but I don't read as many books as your in a week. I spent a lot of time in surfing net and watching television too, hence I do not have so much time for reading. But I always keep a habit to read a few chapters every day, especially before I go to bed. I didn't count how many books I have in my house. I'm planning to set up a small library in my house, and buy a proper bookshelf in it, so that my books can be placed nicely.

yeah, i probably qualify for the "book addiction" club lol! i LOVE reading and always have a book with me. every store i go in.."do they have any books?" i can spend all day at a books store, agonizing over which ones to get with how much money i have! and it really is agonizing! i mean i give them a good home, i read them, love them, cherish them! before i lost pretty much everything i owned (number of years ago) i had at least a couple hundred books! they were my pride and joy! another bookcase or gift card for books is what i told everybody i wanted no matter what occasion it was! all those books are gone now..and im just barely getting my collection started again. i probably have about 150 right now. worst part is that i cant remember all the titles/authors i used to have! i can recall storylines but that doesnt help me find them. im also pretty anal when it comes to other ppl touching/borrowing my books! i REALLY hate letting anybody borrow books and there is only 1 person i allow at the moment..my dad..well cause i cant say no to my dad lol! i keep my books pristine! NEVER dog ear a page! NEVER over bend the binding so it wont stay closed when its laying on its side! shoot, i wont even use a bookmark if its too thick. of all the things i lost..my family pics and my books are the 2 things i would give a limb to have back!

I read a lot of books. I just borrow em from the library and read em in like 4-5 days. They are very thick books and are fictional.

I got addicted to some books when I was younger. Now, it doesn't interest that much! Everyone changes their apetite when they grow up, I guess!
