I am a terrible reader, don't get me wrong, I can read! Have been able to since I was about 7yrs old.
I am a terrible reader in that it is all or nothing.
Once I pick up a book then life stops.
I am not the person who reads a little prior to falling a sleep. I am the person who reads a little prior to going to sleep then gets so engrossed in the book that suddenly it is 1am and I am determined to finish the last 2 chapters before I turn the light out.
I am a person who will do everything else around reading.
I will watch the tv but as soon as the adverts come on during the programme I have my book open and I carry on reading.
Same with cooking. I love that the kitchen is not connected to the living room. I can stand and read whilst waiting for something to cook, stopping every now and then to stir the pot.
If I get into a good book and then find that it has another connected to it then I am screwed, as I will want to finish book 2 just as quick as book 1.
I have been known to read myself stupid, so much so that I have then not picked up another book for weeks due to being read out! At that time the thought of reading a book is the worst thing imaginable.
And just to prove the point, I have just spent the last week reading 5 out of 7 books in a series. Thus the reason why there have been no posts for a week!!

Woo Hoo! Found you. I am esknitter on Walker Tracker and Retired Knitter on my blog which I know you have visited. And now I have found you. Fun post about reading. I find the same with listening to a book on audio, but with audio you can do other things. It is great.
Looking forward to an Appalachian Trail walk soon.
Take care.

We are so the same!! Lately I haven't been reading as much as I like but I do love a good book even in between commercials too :)
I've often found myself engrossed in a book to the detriment of other things like housework & sleep! I always have several books going at once, and I have gotten better over the years about turning the light out at a decent time. But still, there's always that book that I just can't put down! LOL
