Have you really considered what you do at home that makes it impossible to read in peace? In an earlier post I mentioned a friend who takes long baths to read. Her children have now left home and got families of their own, but she still prefers reading in the bathroom. I guess she loves the steamy ambience.

You're obviously single without much responsibility. Yes, of course I had tons of time to read and do anything I wanted back then, including time to watch TV.
I'd like to see how you manage having more than a full-time job, married, 2 kids and 4 pets to clean up after, school arrangements, after school activities, own an older home that always seems to be needing some work and repairs, an acre of lawn to keep mowed and landscaping cleaned up. Come back then and say we're doing things wrong because the commute to work might be the only time available to read in a particular day.
I don't think you're intentionally trying to be provocative. You're just very naive about life.
