And with the ease of ereaders being so portable, I also read every spare second I can, ie waiting at the school, etc., You'd be surprised how much reading you can get done when you're just waiting, anywhere!  |

I agree...digital reading does help...not having to lug yet another heavy thing (physical book) makes things easier. And a coworker of mine is a purist, loves the feel of physical books -even she was intrigued by my NST. My (as I've read it here) technotard mother took quite obsessively to her e-reader when I got her one. I was extremely surprised.
And I totally get what you were saying Blue. That is huge annoyance on TV... you get into something and boom its replaced with an overly idiotic reality show
BOOO! I keep trying to wean myself off of it, but still have some work to do.
Hopefully when I get back in the groove of reading (more like learning to take time for myself), ill do better. My collection in the thousands, my TBR is still TBD lol....i have a real problem with getting freebies even if I don't really find the description interesting...figured someone in my household/family will
