1 in 4 Americans did not read a book last year. This explains a lot.. I really have trouble grasping how this happens. Habitually carrying at least two books with me everywhere I go, I just cannot fathom it. I understand the people that say, “Well I read lot of online material,” and I sympathize. I spent more then most doing the same, but there is still a lot of time not spent in front of the computer, in addition to 365 days in a year. HOW DO YOU NOT READ ONE BOOK? I mean, between my girlfriend, work, riding my bike, dancing, aikido, suburi and my own personal time I am still reading at least two books.

Here is an idea. Instead of going to McDonalds and getting a Triple Big Mac and 2 gallon Coke, go to the grocery store and buy some produce and then stop at the library on your way home. Once you go home, make yourself dinner and take 30 minutes to read. You can watch your tivo’d and bit torrent shows at a later time.
