Coffee, Cigarettes and Books

A quick word of warning I may be a little loopy from a sever lack of sleep...or I just may be a little weird in general, but what else is new.  There are many addicting substances out there, but I am pretty sure that coffee, cigarettes and books are the top three most addicting things on planet earth.  I don't smoke, but anybody who is willing to stand outside in -40 degree weather just to suck on a smoking bit of paper is probably addicted.  That being said I have been know to drive miles out of my way, just to get a decent cup of coffee, vacation plans tend to revolve around minimizing distances between cups of coffee, so there is a good chance I am addicted as well :-)
This leads me to my other addiction, books.  Now I am sure you have all noticed by now my obsession with anythings books, I mean it is a book blog, but what you are probably not aware of is my physical need to buy books.  I love, love, love reading books, but sometimes just the act of going to a bookstore, perusing the shelves, finding that book you have been looking for, or risking it all and getting a book you have never heard of, but the cover looks interesting so what the heck (holy run on sentence Batman).  It is something I like to savor and enjoy, like a good cup of coffee.  This brings me back to the other day. I have been in a super sticky hot, everything sucks reading slump and was getting really frustrated at the lack of books I wanted to read, I would stand in front of my bookshelves, but nothing seemed right.  I then had an epiphany ( I love that word) my life had been so crazy I had not been to the bookstore in OVER A MONTH!!!!!  Sure I had tried to sate my

cravings by downloading books to my e-readers, and yes technically I have a stash of new books that I have yet to read...but I had not been in a bookstore among the shelves in way to long.  My Hubbin, being the amazing guy that he is drove me straight to the book store where I swear as soon as I walked in and breathed in the book smell I instantly started feeling better.  I started in the Young Adult section, checking out new titles, searching for books that have been on my list, the thrill of finding The Grimm Legacy listening to little kids laugh as they discovered a new book.  On to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy section where I knew right where I was headed, straight to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, but lo and behold an old friend waited for me in the form of The Girl Who Heard Dragons updated with illustrations and a new forward from the lady Ms. McCaffery herself!  This was getting exhilarating, using the momentum of the unexpected discovery I hopped over to Teen Fiction and honed in on the book that has been sitting on my list forever Leviathan, a quick jump to Adult Fiction to grab The Peach Keeper and I felt that I had sufficiently tamed my book buying 
impulse. I brought my stack over to where the Hubbin was patiently sitting, working on his own project when he said he needed a few more minutes.  Awesome I thought to myself, I'll just go get a pretty photo book to flip through while I am waiting...but my lovely addiction had other plans, just as I was skirting past Teen Fiction to the Photography and Art section, a cover caught my eye, I have purchased what turned out to be some of my favorite books based on nothing more than I liked the cover...so into the purchase stack went A Fairy Bad Day.  Thus ended my much needed buying of books, I am not kidding when I say I actually felt more relaxed on the ride home with my bag of books sitting right there for me to dive into!
How psycho crazy do I sound?  What is your can't tame addiction? Have you ever walked into a bookstore and woke up hours later with three bags of books in your hands?
