the paper book thing
Dec. 18th, 2024 07:28 pmMy fiction reading has declined over the last few years. Markedly.
I do read. Online articles. Blog posts. Ebooks. But a paper book that I have to hold with two hands has been a rarity of late.
So a little over a week ago, I decided I wanted a seasonal read and dug out Hogfather. Bedtime reading, for 15 minutes, a half hour. Finished it, then grabbed Carpe Jugulum. Finished that—time for a Guards book. So, Guards! Guards! it is.
Feels weird to read something that requires the use of a separate lamp to see in the dark.
Anyway, I've reached the point where I look forward to that quiet time. Unplugged.
Not a situation I would've ever expected.
