In some ways it's a coping mechanism, an inexpensive mental vacation, and much more healthy than booze or binge eating!<BR/><BR/>I have a good stack of books that just came in from Amazon that I'm looking forward to - because come November and NaNoWriMo I won't be reading - only time for output. Plus, I get worried about muddying my voice. You know, because I'm such an A list writer. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-30784462284651231602008-10-01T18:51:00.000-06:002008-10-01T18:51:00.000-06:00I like you read a lot as a child.

We were reminded that end of 9-weeks is next week. YIKES!!!<BR/><BR/>Hope your walk through went well and remember that housework can always be done later. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-68195430743266204052008-10-01T16:55:00.000-06:002008-10-01T16:55:00.000-06:00Reading in and of itself is not the issue.

Reading at night replaces emptying the diswasher and working through the bathroom in the basement project.<BR/>I'm pretty aware of when I'm procrastinating/escaping from stuff.Anne C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09444051201220766948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-73918694240554081822008-10-01T13:38:00.000-06:002008-10-01T13:38:00.000-06:00I truly, honestly don't understand why this is a p...I truly, honestly don't understand why this is a problem either. I read everyday. I read at the breakfast table and at the dinner table. I read before I go to sleep. When I take the bus, I read on the bus. I used to read during my lunch break but now I internet. Of course I do less at-home reading when I get my daily quota in on the bus so part of my recent increase is due to now having to drive to work. But still. Reading is not the enemy.belsumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06943795389862466294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6889198.post-35659028428475583062008-10-01T12:55:00.000-06:002008-10-01T12:55:00.000-06:00Hah!

I'd put my stack of books on the 4th step, lean up against my pillow, which I think had a rabbit on it, and cover myself up with my blanket and entertain myself for hours. <BR/><BR/>I still managed to read quite a bit in high school, and even in college, but after college I fell off the bandwagon. A few months ago, I went into a reading kick in a major way -- staying up 'til 2 a.m., waking up and reading chapters while eating my breakfast, coming up with excuses to read in the evenings at the expense of my domicile obligations... <BR/><BR/>Not sure what happened, but eventually I must've satisfied something within and now I've slacked back off the reading a bit. But I know that if I was to pick up a good book tomorrow, the old compulsion would return and that once I hit the "halfway through" point of the book, I'd be up reading until I finished it. <BR/><BR/>Damn habits.
