I'm extremely prone to this. On several occasions, I've looked up a word using kindles built in library, then see an interesting related word, then I see an unfamiliar word on the same page, then there's a link about pronunciation, before, finally, I think to myself "Motherfucker, have you been reading the dictionary for an hour?"
I was just gifted a dictionary of etymology. The Barnhart one. I might be leading you down a dark path here, but you may want to consider adding it to your word-lookup routine if you're having fun with what you're doing already.
