I've always been a "book & bed" type.
I get up early in the morning and reading doesn't hit the spot.
I've got plenty to do all day and I make sure that I get a good walk in.
At 7 PM I'm usually in bed reading.
At 9 PM it's lights out and 5 minutes of BBC World Service News with auto shutoff.

But do I read more now? A bit more.
But as LostHisMarbles said, it's harder to find something good to read.
I especially deplore that 20th century literature has fallen into desuetude.
It's not old enough to be public domain and not new enough to be in demand.
