    reading fiction is 100% additive. One of the things that muted my reading is I had to not be reading fiction during the school year to get through college. Usualy do one book over winter break and a few over summer. Nothing for spring because its to short and second semester always seemed worse so was generally catching up.

      Ya I get that it’s addictive but it isn’t the drug-effect I’m looking at here. I’m looking at the deranging effects of periodic prolonged intense mental concentration. It’s as powerful as any drug.
