Too busy to read? You’re not alone…

That buzzing distraction of the Internet, email, daily life, other stuff to do… Whatever became of quiet time to settle down with a good book?

If you’ve asked yourself that recently (and I have…) you may find some small comfort in knowing you aren’t the only one… Here is a sad but all-too-relevant essay on the subject from — gasp! — the book editor of the LA Times, and he’s even having a hard time concentrating…

Thoughts? Do you still find time to read? As much as you wish you had? When? And how?

And if so, do you have a good book to recommend?

Every day, Ron. Every day. A day without books is like a day without sunshine. I just finished a 1300+ page book and I’m so sad it is over. Fortunately, I have a big stack of books waiting for me to crack’em open. Ahh, books are pure bliss…
