I still enjoy reading, but I think I enjoy the idea of reading almost more than the actual act.
I'm not sure of the reasons, but I do know that I don't feel as settled - when I'm reading, I feel as though there are too many other things I should be doing. I guess maybe the more responsibility I've gained in my life, the more my reading suffers. It's almost like it's a guilty pleasure that I can't quite manage as much as I used to. Now I only get into a book if I can't do something else (when I'm waiting on someone, out to lunch by myself, riding the train, etc).

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

I had, to some extent, but then I started working with a 1 hour train commute each way.
