Hmmm.. I dunno. Itīs rather how you put it, is it not?
You might go the same way by saying "oh, itīs not about how to reconcile yourself with society's increasingly restrictive demands on our behaviour, but how to get all the chemicals in your head into just the right mix so as not to feel blue" and still... feels hinky.

3) You act like playing video games is some kind of mental disorder. Yeah, her behavior in todays comic is reminiscent of an addict but that might also just be how someone would act with a break in routine. If Penelope had all her books impounded she might be willing to pay well to get access to a few of them and I doubt people would be scolding her for 'book addiction'.

This isn't necessarily a rebuttal of your point. But my friends scold me for my book addiction regularly. Last year when we drew names for Christmas gifts, she told the guy who got my name that he was not allowed to get me any books or giftcards to bookstores.
When my birthday rolled around last month she nearly flipped her lid about the fact that I got b&n giftcards from people. If we go into a bookstore together, she will not let me buy more than one book no matter how good of deal I get. I probably read about three or four books month (which really... isn't that much).
I know I could go to a library, but none of the libraries around here have a very good selection of books. :-\

And this is why we have literacy issues in this country :-o
I should also clarify a bit, given how Marigold was acting, yeah, she might need to take a break and unplug a bit. But I think my other point does stand, if Hannelore had had another all nighter and was having trouble functioning due to lack of sleep and Dora, Marten or anyone else told her she was grounded from cleaning for three days she'd have a pretty severe reaction and the forum would likely vilify the person in question who said it. It also might help if anyone other than Hannelore ever tried dropping by, even if only just to say hello to Marigold or hang out with her, as it is she might be afraid of going out to hang out with them or do something because she might feel they are ambivalent about her company.

You need better friends that actually read books...or at the very least don't complain about somebody that does.
