My name is Jessica Orr and I’m a bibliophile. They say admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery but I don’t think it helps when you’re addicted to books. At least, I’ve conceded to being an addict for most of my life and I’m still a bibliophile. Despite my addiction, I’m still able to function in normal society. But then maybe I’m not addicted so much as in love. You know, there’s a difference between being a bibliophile and a bibliomaniac. Bibliomania is a brand of obsessive compulsive disorder whereas Bibliophilia is an extreme hobby. Really it’s like comparing a raging alcoholic to a Saturday drunk. It’s all a matter of degrees.

Oh, I just love books- reading them, collecting them, cataloging them, organizing them, stacking them up like blocks and building a fort in which to read... but who doesn't love that? I think about books quite a lot and when there's a library sale I nearly go insane with anticipation. Looking over my journal, it occurred to me that someone might find my addiction amusing. So here you are, monument to my obsession: BookAddiction.org.

Enjoy and beware... bibliophilia is contagious!
