There are currently two books that are just gathering dust on my "work" desk instead of being read by me. Reading books seem to be a sporadic activity lately. The last time I opened a book, I finished five more in a week's time. And then after that I couldn't seem to finish a chapter of another book anymore. It doesn't help even if the book I am reading is really good.
I sort of know why this is. I have become too attached to my laptop. When I wake up, I turn on my laptop immediately. I spend about 30-45 minutes reading blogs, newspaper, checking my emails, checking my assignments, checking travel deals or sometimes look for the best spider glue traps like I did this morning.
When I am free in the afternoon, I sit in front of the laptop again and read all my favorite blogs, then work on my assignments. When I am done, my baby is awake and I don't have time to read a book anymore.
Or even if I have more time (when my baby naps longer), I try to open a book but I just can't focus. So I end up going to my laptop again until my eyes hurt from too much radiation.
Yesterday I did read two chapters of One for my Baby by Tony Parsons. I wanted to finish the book but unfortunately my baby woke up.
Hopefully I'll find the time to read books again. I heard the Twilight series are really captivating. Must visit the bookstore soon.
