Reply #20: I have seen a sort of fiction addiction in some people. [View All]

I first noticed this phenomenon when people would say that they go nutty if they don't have a book lined up to read when the current one is finished. "I get the shakes toward the end of the book if I don't have a new book to start." I started listening to that kind of talk, and I believe there exists an addiction to fiction for some. It's either causing the release of endorphins in them or creating an escape from RW that becomes addicting.

Romance and teen fiction seem to be the book of choice for the addicted, from what I could see.
