Question by only hope: addiction to reading books?
im a complete book worm! i like reading becasue it helps me relax and calm down and not think about……bad stuff….is a way of putting it (you might want to check out my other ? for more details). but that’s the problem! some people are addicted to drugs, or alchol, or food er somthing. but i seriously think im addicted to books. i could read for ever and ever and ever……what draws the line of an addictin && doing somthing for one’s personal enjoyment? and is this a bad habit?
yay! im not the only one! i completely agree-it relaxes me and makes me feel like i can be a completely different person. i dont think i can give out 10 points because i like all of the awnsers. thanks very much for you words of wisdom!

no it’s not addictive… it makers you a better thinker, more intellectual from being exposed to so many different authors, points of view, classics, genre novels, etc. I starting reading like you at age 10, reading at a level way beyond my years. i think books are amazing… they help you use your imagination, try to out think bad guys, plot twists, and question why certain books were written the way they are. Not to mention you are training your brain to THINK — not to depend on the Internet and every instant-now devices America loves. Read all you want, the more the better. that’s what books are for.
