"aholic-type" words
In my English course I met the word "chocaholic". By analogy with that word I am an "bookaholic" or "readaholic". It's interesting, are there such words in usage by native spearers or not? If not, what words are used for persons who love reading abnormally?

"aholic-type" words
In my English course I met the word "chocaholic". <em>(confected word!)</em> By analogy with that word I am an "bookaholic" or "readaholic". It's interesting, are there such words in usage by native speakers or not? If not, what words are used for persons who love reading abnormally? <em>bibliophile, bookworm</em>
<em>Have you recently become an 'aholicoholic'?</em>

You do not need labels like "workaholic" or "bookworm." The correct version to me, a native speaker, is just "avid reader." If you want to get technical, in response to the -aholic, then yes workaholic would be suitable in that situation.

There is also the word "workaholic" for people, who work excessively without repose, for whom life is somewhat unbalanced. Many natives use this word often in speech (for example, a teenager says to a buddy "Hey dude, you're like such a workaholic! Why don't you shoot some breeze with me?").
Additionally, it is possible to make up words with the suffix "aholic", but mostly young children engage in this creative activity. Of course, I might be wrong.
