Not to get into the other details but I’m finally getting over my fear of admitting I don’t read. Here’s what I’ve realized:
I’m always reading all of the time [zizek.gif]. I’m reading code, documentation, release notes, emails and texts… from the moment I wake til I sleep.
Put an interesting book in front of me and, well, I’m interested but getting my brain into a place where it can take in new reading sources is like getting my body in a place to take up running right after walking my dog. Not gonna happen.

And I’m not ashamed of it.
