Sounds more like escapism than addiction to me, though I guess it is pretty much the same thing. I've seen that a lot in MMOs, like World of Warcraft, where people live in the game world and completely neglect their actual lives, relationships and careers, and stop eating, sleeping and showering (wowdetox.org has some stories).
She, if she is not just fictional, is doing the same, just with imaginary worlds instead of online ones.
Anyway, back to reading ...
