Still on the fresh-start/new-chapter mode, I have to point out one observation. While I read a lot of books in 2010 (more of that in another post), it felt like I had less time for reading because it took me more time than usual to finish most of the books I did get to read. Could it have been that...
- I'm becoming a slow reader?
- I'm losing interest in books? *gasp* Noooo!
- I'm overloaded with work? Show me the money, haha!
- I'm becoming busier with homemaking and parenting?

| In fairness, these books happen to be long. But that's another point altogether. |
Those are all probably right, but although I've slowed down with books, and eliminated the chore of monitoring (in my work in PR, that's reading 9 national broadsheets, 4 weekly magazines, countless glossy magazines, for updates on news, my clients, their competitors, and trends in general), I know for sure I've been doing a LOT of reading!
I have been reading for hours, but instead of a book of the moment, the papers and magazines, I've been reading:
 |
| 1. friends' status updates, notes, and links |
 |
| 2. links to blogs, websites, and online publications in tweets |
 |
| 3. daily events, interests, thoughts, opinions, feelings, still on Twitter (makes me feel like a stalker sometimes) |
 |
4. friends' blogs, leading to other people's blogs

http://www. you know the drill...
5. Fave TV shows: transcriptions, updates, synopses
My computer -- via the Internet -- has become one large archive of news on people and entities of every industry and interest possible! So there, with a sigh of relief, I've given myself the comfort of knowing that I still read. A lot. All day, sometimes. But I dread the day I will no longer sit (or lie down) and relax with a cup of my fave brew of the moment, to lose myself in a new book because I will be reading said books online.
