Yep. My husband laughs at me. I ride the bus to and from work and read during the ride; if I have less than 150 pages left to read in my current book, I throw a spare into my backpack just in case. You never know when the bus will get stuck in traffic or you'll have to wait a long time, and I'm terrified of running out of reading material on the bus.

No, I haven't. So many books have been published that I've never feared I would run out of books to read. In fact, I think (well, know) that I'll never get through all the books already published, let alone all the ones yet to be published.
Interesting question! Have you suffered from abibliophobia? If so, why?

Yes - when I go on a holiday and pack as many books as my suitcase will allow - I'm always afraid I will read them all and there will be nothing left for me to read - and what if the local bookstore is closed, etc. DEFINITELY!

No, I love to read and have tons of books that I've purchased and haven't had time to read yet. I don't fear I will run out of things to read and since I'm a professional writer, I can just read what I write. LOL!

Only when I'm in a doctor's office or plane or somewhere that I can possibly run out of reading material. I guess a few times yes. You?

Always.
If I break that word down
a - negates what comes after it.
biblio - THE bible or books.
phobia - a negative feeling towards THE bible or books in general.
So, in fact, this would mean a lover of THE bible or books - I think it's easier to call them fundies or book-worms.
I'm not a fundie; I must be a book-worm.
I wonder if I got that completely wrong - oh well, you won't see my red face if I did. *grin*

Only around the ones with teeth.
Have you ever seen Army of Darkness with Bruce Campell?

No, but I'd be screwed if I did - I'm a librarian!
Still - good way to throw a sickie.

YES! I can't imagine a world with no books in it. I would die of boredom!
