I love that there's a word for this. It's from the Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, which gets more incredible the more I explore it.

I got it for Christmas and I've been keeping it near where I'm working/relaxing to pick up, find a random page, learn something new, then set it down to mull it over. I highly recommend it.
