Minds need fulfillment too! The Shrike Send a noteboard - 17/01/2018 03:41:25 PM

I know I used to read 400-500 books/year, but the past three years, I don't think I've finished 100 books combined, and none since early July. I do read, mostly poetry, but nothing systematic or anything that I would complete the book in hand.

Maybe I'll resume reading a lot later this year, but between work, personal life, and training to run a marathon in April, I just find myself unable to read for more than a minute or two most nights. And yet I don't miss it, which is strange.

Then again, I might end up binging and reading 50 in a month


Year. Month. Day. Hour. Minute. Do whatever works best for you.


Just finding more fulfillment and self-improvement running 25K on trails than reading these days. It might change soon, though.
