Yes, im similar in that my work and my hobbies can sometimes overtake my ability to read. I always like to be reading something but it took me 2 months to read my last book, all 500 pages of it....MuchoLoco wrote:For me it is often a matter of how busy I am. If I was retired with not much to do I think I could read all the time, but with a busy life I find that I go in spurts like you. Some times it will take me a month to finish a book, because I just can't get the time, but other times I will read through a book in 2 or 3 days. So I guess I don't get bored of reading, just consumed with everything.

But once reading fits itself into a new routine it very quickly expands to fill any available time slots and I'm back to my "normal" self again.

During the college semesters though, I tend not to read as much simply because my mind is already being strained and it's a relief to do something mindless... which Atlas Shrugged most certainly is not, don't know what I was thinking to start that a few weeks ago, and obviously I haven't gotten too far yet. Once summer starts, though, I'll probably get through it in no time.

As far as reading goes, I hardly get bored of it, but I can't focus on it sometimes and I get angry at myself for not concentrating it.
Then I'll pick up a book that I can't stand and there that goes...
Dude, I only read like military, tech, game, sport, photo, animal, and mechanic magazines; haha.

Well, I suppose it functions in excellent condition for ripping people off, knocking them out, or breaking into a car, haha.
There was construction at my house and it died from dust inhalation and kiddies...
Eh, I'm not a big fan of the DS, but I own a Darth Vader edition PSP that my nephew chucked at a wall and screwed up.
So after replacing the thumbstick sensor and having it go back to running my character into the wall in front of it, i've decided to sell it.
Haha, what luck...
