Unlike most people, I don't possess a smart phone. My mobile is very old and will only call and text; it can't take or recieve pictures, film, or contact the internet. I do all that on my laptop. So that has had no effect on my reading.
However, I haven't read much for many months, focussing mostly on writing and drawing. Over the last week, I've been reading for several hours a day and noticed how much it's tiring my brain. I keep wanting to sleep!
I have been totally absorbed by the book, an early whodunnit (That Affair Next Door by Anna Katharine Green) and wanted to continue reading till I find out who did do it, but I have to keep resting my brain!
I've probably lost reading stamina during the months I haven't read very much - a bit like losing physical stamina if you stop exercising. Maybe this is what happened to Michael Harris, the guy who wrote the article?
