Stuff like that kind of takes away from the topic at hand--what people gain from reading, whether that varies by what they read etc.

I'm not a big believer in reading--at least fiction reading--shaping a person's thought process, values, beliefs etc. But that's just my bias from growing up on movies, tv, sports and video games and still enjoying all those more than reading.

Hell, it's ridiculous I waste so much time here procrastinating work, talking about what's a very minor hobby with me. So with that realization I think I'll take a break from the site for a while, if not permanently.
Even if it's a minor hobby you're clearly talking about something you feel passionate about, which is always great. I hope you decide to come back (when you're done with work). I hope there isn't anything here other than you losing time that is making you take a break.
