Finding Time to Read

People ask me how I read so many books. One reason I go through so many books is I read very quickly. If I have the right book and the time, I can finish a book in a day. I try to read everyday. I will read on my lunch. If I have 15 extra minutes I am going to use it to read. Now that I have started listening to audio books, I have two books going at one time. That can get confusing. I rarely read in bed. If I take a book to bed thinking I am going to read, it will not last long, I will be ready to fall asleep. I can sit up reading late in my chair. I used to always have the television on, even when I was reading. A few years ago, I realized if I was not watching the TV, I could shut it off. So simple. Not sure why it took me so long to figure that out. Now early in the morning I can sit in my quiet house and become completely engrossed in a book. I do not put on music. Just me and the book. When there are no distractions I can get completely caught up in the story and before I know it I will be at the end of the book. The only downside to this is trying to make sure I do not run out of books. Since I had a buying binge a few weeks ago there is a comfortable stack giving me a nice cushion. Should not run out of something to read for a few more weeks. Life is good!
