Addiction normally leads to a premature death, but how about the bookaholics?
My feeling is that they live longer than average, no idea why??

That's easy they are not going to give up till they finish that book... and they likely always have two on the go so they have more reason to live.

Charles McNeil: I am glad what I described is not your experience. Shall I admire your wealth, acquisition, and/or discipline (self-control)? I am sure there is someone with a Logos Library larger than yours. I guess for some, the sky is the limit and the last book is until the NEXT advertisement or published release. Finding the balance in all things is the key to healthy living.

I am not building a Logos library just for my own use. I have thirteen children and plan to leave it to one of them. For the present, I can use much of my library to homeschool the four sons I still have at home.

I'm so tempted to start a Bookaholics Anonymous then check myself in
Charles McNeil: Are there any specific early waring signs for one to heed when enough is enough (books) and too much is good for nothing?

This is an interesting conversation. How many feel Logos is an expense and how many see it as an investment? I read a lot so I view it as an investment.

David,
Investment or not, can one overly invest?

You're admired for your decisions. You're truly a wise and thoughtful man and father. This is NOT an addiction, it's an investment in the present and into future, beneficial to one's self and others. Blessings upon you and the household!
Relative, but at what quality of wealth (or lack), health and life?

James Hiddle:start a Bookaholics Anonymous then check myself in
An idea: To all Bookaholics (confessed and closet) invest (non-book) in a good treadmill. Put it near an opened window or where there is a flow of fresh air, project your book on a large screen or monitor and read while walking or use the audio (read aloud). It will help the mind to comprehend the reading of all those books and improve circulation. Did I just suggested how to be a healthy Bookaholic?
Bruce Roth: Stay off Logos.com Unsubscribe from email lists Stay off the forums or at least the General one Avoid the Home page in the app
You convinced me. I will do that—after Christmas and before March Madness, except for…
Besides, I only own 1/3 the resources of ST—Now, where did I put the credit card?

Bibliosis – A rarely fatal progressive communicable disease caused by gathering books
Liboniitus – a swelling of the personal library, usually a protective response due to inordinate amounts of interest or curiosity.
Logosis – considered by some experts to be related to Accordapox. It is a collection of imported digital matter in the cortex of the workstation. Considered addictive and seasonal, particularly acute during the months of March and December
Treatment is varied and often unsuccessful. These diseases are considered chronic. Oddly group therapy is discouraged and seems to encourage the spread of the disease.
First symptoms include desire for more RAM, recurrent billinghams, and godly insight

Just getting off-topic as usual: what would be the correct English word for an overly map enthusiast, as good as bookaholic?
Charles McNeil: David Achorn:This is an interesting conversation. How many feel Logos is an expense and how many see it as an investment? I read a lot so I view it as an investment. David, Investment or not, can one overly invest?
Absolutely. I'm not sure where investment ends and over-investment begins, however. When does one have too many books?
Veli Voipio:what would be the correct English word for an overly map enthusiast
Slang would be 'mapaholic', of course.
Medical term is 'cartophilia' or 'cartophilic'.
My thanks to the various MVPs. Without them Logos would have died early. They were the only real help available.
Faithlife Corp. owes the MVPs free resources for life.
