Answer by Angel_Blue
no it’s not addictive… it makers you a better thinker, more intellectual from being exposed to so many different authors, points of view, classics, genre novels, etc. I starting reading like you at age 10, reading at a level way beyond my years. i think books are amazing… they help you use your imagination, try to out think bad guys, plot twists, and question why certain books were written the way they are. Not to mention you are training your brain to THINK — not to depend on the Internet and every instant-now devices America loves. Read all you want, the more the better. that’s what books are for.
