[Sirtel]

For whatever reason (health issues, family concerns, lack of interest, lack of time and so on). By a long period I mean at least a year, not days/weeks/months (as most people have probably had those).

This is something I've read in several posts here, but never experienced myself. For as long as I remember, I've always read books. At most there have been a couple of days I didn't read, but not longer. But then I've lived a quiet life and have no family or kids.
