A humorous word for running out of reading
Abibliophobia names a fear of running out of things to read. The dictionary labels it humorous. It is about lacking reading material rather than disliking books, and is presented here as wordplay, not a clinical diagnosis.
The desire to keep reading gets a rather grand name.
