is anyone else addicted to security books?

The past 2 weeks I bought: The new metasploit book, backtrack 4 ,python programming, and the wireshark study guide. I've read the metasploit and backtrack book over the past week, now Im going to hit the 900 page wireshark book.

I have 30 other books on my wish list with Amazon, so after wireshark..on too more. The more I learn from these books, the more I want to read IT security/pen testing books.

Does anyone else have this addiction?

All I can say is study whatever you are motivated to. If you find a tremendous desire to work your way through any kind of hands-on study guide then you should be doing just that.

I am addicted to the CCNP Security course work for right now, i too have the metasploit, backtrack , and some CEH books on my amazon list. However my priority is the CCNP Security cert before i venture off to other studies, however i am excited to learn anything about security right now.

I can relate, but family changed all that. I still read every now and then, but balance is the key.
