    You have to actively make the choice to read books. It doesn’t just happen. I did several years ago after not reading much of anything for many years, and I’m closing in on 20,000 pages read this year.

      Not me. I can’t make the choice not to read. Been devouring fiction for 45-years. If I spend the night elsewhere and forget my tablet (cheap e-reader), I get a little panicky. Yes, even sleeping with a new lover the first time. “Aw hell! Where’s my book?! How am I supposed to sleep?!”

      At our camp I have a shitty tablet I can charge up if I forget to bring one. It’s buried under the collapsed tent, but it’s there!
