It's a lifestyle choice.
Turn off the TV and one has time for lots of things --- I still read to my children (aged 13 and 8) every weeknight --- we're currently doing World War II, an interlude from Presidential biographies having just finished those in order from Washington up through FDR, and have read _The Hobbit_, _The Lord of the Rings_, Susan Cooper's _The Dark is Rising_ pentalogy and a lot of other classics. Once we finish the Presidents we're going to go back and do all the world's mythologies starting w/ Gilgamesh, then famous explorers, inventors, mathematicians and leaders (chronologically --- the best plan I've worked up for this is just going through the local library stacks, noting the biographies I want to read to the kids along w/ birth dates, then sorting chronologically --- anyone have a better suggestion?)
