I carry out reviews of research literature sometimes, and have to make a lot of notes. It does kill your reading speed. I found switching to a dictaphone (I actually just use audacity for my PC and a gaming headset) helped a lot - I can open a file for each paper and speak my thoughts as I go, almost without stopping reading. It helped me a lot, don't know if it would help you...

Who else has (regretfully) lost much of their joy for reading, and what are your reasons?

I write most of my notes with pen and paper, unless it's a specific idea on a project I've started.

I still think the best solution is to just sit down with some Wodehouse. *NM*

It's more likely the internet, and, to a lesser extent, TV than it is games.

You're either too tired or you've simply outgrown certain kinds of genres/books
