Which books turned into an unhealthy obsession for you and why? The more embarrassing the better

Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation. It's because they're so fucking cute together, I just can't fucking take it. I don't care what anybody else says.

A pretty comprehensive yet complicated book on stick fighting mainly using the jo staff.
I had almost no formal weapon training so I used it as the focus of all my solo and independent weapon training for 2 or so years.
Only to later get proper equipment to do weapon sparing and quickly figured out the vast majority of the book isn't realistic or practical.
I mean it wasn't a total waste of time. When doing demos with a compliant pardner I can do some cool looking John Wick stuff with a stick of various lengths.
It's just against a resistant opponent its a hell of a lot more effective to just hit them with the stick rather than do complicated throws and grapples.

Goosebumps gave me a lot of bad end and tf fetishes I didn’t understand at the time.

Orion's Arm setting as a whole. It's embarrassing because it's a hard science fiction setting made by people who don't understand the basic idea of Relativity (neither Einsteinian nor Galilean), can't (or can't be bothered) to check their numbers to see if they make sense and treat nanotech, memetics and AI as magic.

On the other hand, the setting has certain grandness to it. I always return to it (the lore, not the stories), because somehow it just seems like such a vast and open place of unlimited possibilities - and unlimited danger - to explore, unlike so many others.

Basically I started reading animorphs in 5th grade and I continued until 20- I read and re-read each book at least 20 to 30 times. Something about being a high-school kid fighting a secret alien invasion was like crack to me nerd brain.
