I know guys who, even though they know they won't read them, bring 8 or 10 books for a weekend trip. I ask because I just put two books & a Kindle into my bike's saddlebag, in case I feel like pulling over and reading on a bench for a while. I need to know the name of the disease from which I suffer!In response, one David Sanders suggested "biblialgia", while Lina Ramona Vitkauskas observed that this is just a symptom of that disease called "intelligence".
Can you do better? Post a comment below, if you will. I'll make sure RA is alerted to any progress we make. I did send this over to Word Fugitives at The Atlantic, but have heard nothing yet -- though I'm not surprised to think her backlog is miles deep, what with the current mania for neologism and lexical recasting.
