 I have commitment issues - commitment to books, that is.  It's really hard for me to pick just one book and stick with it if I don't devote a day or two solely to reading that book.

That's not to say that I don't finish books I start.  I'd say I finish about 75% or more of the books I really get into (here "really get into" is defined as roughly a quarter of the book).  I just have a hard time only reading that one book, or even just that one book plus the books I'm required to  read for class.

Like right now, for example.  The books on my list to read and/or contemplate (school books requiring contemplation in addition to reading) include:
-12th Night
-Ways of Seeing
-5 Paths to the Love of Your Life
-When People are Big and God is Small
-Naked Pictures of Famous People
-I Suffer Not A Woman (A closer look at 1st Timothy)
-The Bible  (Listed last, but certainly not the least, for clarification.)

It's not that I'm not interested in  any of the books either.  The problem is that I'm really quite devoted to all of them, so I can't justify spending all of my time one just one of them.
  The other problem is that I don't want to do anything else, other than read.  I also have a whole stack of books lined up waiting to be added to the pile.

Mmmmm bibliophilia.

These sound eerily like the typical arguments for polygamy.

I was going through my bookshelves when I came back for Spring Break. I still have a book that you loaned me in middle school.
"Dragon's Winter"
...I thought you should know, but unless you specifically ask me and have me deliver it in person, you probably won't get it back.

Bibliophiles will rule the universe!!!

Or we would if we could put books down long enough to pay attention to the universe.
