I Wish I Read More

When I was a kid, I read books more or less constantly. Somewhere in middle
school, my pace slowed significantly. I blame homework. I went through a few
books in there, but not at nearly the rate from before. After high school, I
stopped reading almost completely.

Oh, I spent plenty of time on comment threads, but not books. Then I started
living with my partner, and we only had one car, so I started taking the bus to
work. Bless public transportation. With hands finally free, there existed at
least an hour each day with nothing better to do than read. I still didn't,
obviously, but I had time to.

My then-new job, however, had quite a few technical books laying around, and I
was to go through bits and pieces for work-related knowledge. Somewhere in
there, I had a moment of, "Oh, books are like, <i>fun</i>. Right.". It didn't
take too long before I always had something to read on me.

I keep track of the books I've read on Goodreads, because I didn't loathe
Amazon when I made the account, and I haven't yet taken the time to transition
somewhere else.
