Being Swallowed by Books

The thing I have struggled with most throughout my short life is probably being "swallowed" by pleasure reading.  I have a collection of books that I got involved in too deeply, and so I thought it was bad because it was taking the place of God, and therefore, I put them away unfinished.  Some of you wont know what the heck I'm talking about, and some of you will completely understand.  If you are of the latter, I have something to share with you:
Galatians 5:16 - "I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh."  If you're right with God then you wont be committing sin to read a book and get very far into it.
Romans 14:14 - "I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean."  If you think that it's wrong to read that book, it's wrong.  There's a little trick I do sometimes.  I would say "Oh, I think it's fine to read this book," all the while really believing that it really was wrong.
1 Corinthians 6:12 - "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not helpful.  All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."  When you can't put the book down, you are addicted to it and brought under it's power, and you need to put it down.  I'm homeschooled, so I can't start books until Friday evening, because otherwise I read it instead of doing school.  Even if I don't read it, I think about it.  I am put under it's power.
One more thing: if you're unsure, don't flirt with the line!  God wants you to have pleasure, but he does not want that to interrupt your walk with Him or damage you in any way.  God wants your best, and flirting with the line is not honoring Him and not healthy for you.
