bookaholic
Compulsive page-turner consumer
A bookaholic is someone with an insatiable appetite for books—buying them, collecting them, reading them.
The word playfully borrows from alcoholic to suggest compulsive behavior: I'm a total bookaholic; I can't leave a bookstore empty-handed.
The term is self-deprecating and affectionate rather than clinical.
