Awhile ago I heard that people aren’t reading as much anymore. I think I saw it on a television program. So in the back of my head I thought I should rectify that. I haven’t read anything fiction in awhile, so I was as guilty as the average North American.
On impulse I bought the book, jPod yesterday. And then I thought I would read a bit.

I think I have figured out why I don’t read as much anymore. It’s because I have poor self-control. With television and movies, they only last a set time. The good ones don’t take too much more than two hours. You can plan your day around them.
With a book, you start one and plan to only “read a bit”. Then you notice that you have run out of pages and it is three in the morning. Mind you, this book had large chunks that were easy to skip. Did it really need to list all the prime numbers between 10,000 and 100,000? Probably not, but that’s a dozen pages that just fly by. Sort of like the long sections of elven poetry in Lord of the Rings.
Based off of my reading pattern though I would recommend jPod to a friend.

I still got up early today to do my run. So I am pleasantly running on 4.5 hours sleep. I’m surprisingly goofy right now. And happy? I’ve noticed that I am not that good at typing either. Lot’s of mistakes. The “delete” key is my friend. My drive to the run didn’t go so well. I took a large number of wrong turns for a destination that is only 2km away.
I wouldn’t have tested drunk, but I think that would be a fault of the testing mechanism. I’m not 100% sure I was qualified to be driving.
