Is There Such A Thing As Too Much Reading?
Comments(3) Do you ever feel like you are reading too much? That everything you start to read you never finish?
That is me. I think I have too much to read. And I read everything.
Here is my current list…
1 novel - First Counsel - Brad Meltzer - still working on getting through this book
5 monthly magazines - Time, Newsweek, Wizard, Readers Digest and Big Backyard (for the kids)
2 trade publications (for work)
2 daily newspapers
23 Monthly Comic Books
Blogs
Forums.
I keep many of my magazines in the bathroom. Doesn’t everyone? Anyway there is only so much time one can spend in there reading. By the time I get done with any of the mags the next one has arrived in the mail.
It is really getting to become too much for me. I am having a hard time keeping on top of it all. When I travel for work and have to fly or take the train, I get close to getting caught up on my reading. But when I get home I get behind. Too many activities to get any reading done.
I find that I am a news junkie. I read the newspaper every morning, then I scour the internet for the latest news. I read Time and Newsweek for the news too. They will have articles that you just don’t find in the newspapers.
I forgot to mention that I read to my kids too. Usually in the evening, before they go to bed. My daughter is reading well on her own but she will often join my and the son for story time. I will read them books or an article out of their Big Backyard magazine.
Is this just another one of my odd compulsions?
or
Is there such a thing as being addicted to reading?
Hello, my name is Idle Ramblings and I am addicted to reading.
