Reading Books

OK, I've been pretty busy the last few years and I've developed this idea in my head that I don't have time to read books... Not like I used to! I used to be able to sit down on a Saturday or an evening and just read straight through for 4 or 5 hours and finish a book in that time... But I don't have those chunks of time anymore... or if I do, they are full of other things... So, when to read a book??? Sigh... no time... Well... that's obviously a load of crap!!

I've been reading a lot of books in the last few months... a chapter or two at a time... in 15 minutes or 1/2 hour chunks... They do add up after a while... And I don't notice the lack of time, not really... I have the time... I just have to get my mind around the idea that I can read a book in pieces... I don't need to read it cover to cover in one fell-swoop, all at once...

With that shift in perception, I'm doing pretty good with the book-reading thing... and am finding that it's getting hard to keep track of what I've been reading... So many new ideas... so many great ideas... Plus, it's amazing how much you can read at the airport before a trip... or on the plane... all of these opportunities to find a few minutes to read... Great opportunities... I just have to look and see them...
