> I haven't seen this one here, unless I missed it. Anyone else have a reading obsession? For example: I can't begin any novel unless I know that I have time to read the whole thing. I can't stand to stop reading in the middle of a book, even if it isn't very good, I have to finish so I'll know what happened in the end. It seems that not only am I a compulsive over-eater, but I am also a compulsive over-*reader*! I'm also obsessed with magazines. I'll read just about any kind(except sports), probably because I know that at least, with a magazine, I can get all the way thru it in an hour or so.

I have the same problem but a little less I think. I have two young children. I worry about the possiblity that I have ADD. I am currently taking Celexa for PMS. In the two weeks I have been on it I havn't desired to read at all. I have wanted to exercise, sleep wake up and go outside with my kids. It is like I want to escape inside a book. My husband even expresses jealousy over it---he wishes he could read as fast as I do. Mostly I like new novels like those review in NY times. It is not unusal for me to read five 400+ page novels in a week. Unfortuneately at night when everyone is asleep---and way tooo late so I feel like I have a hangover in the morning.
