binge reading

Devouring books nonstop

Binge reading is consuming multiple books, articles, or chapters in a single extended session, often compulsively.

The term borrows from binge watching, applying the same marathon-style consumption to text: I spent the whole weekend binge reading the entire series.

It suggests immersion that crowds out other activities.
