Re: Do you read?
I stopped reading a few years ago. There's not much being written these days that's worth the investment in time. I was a big fan of Tom Clancy until a book where he just wrote out a couple of characters two-thirds of the way through, with no explanation as to their presence in the first place; and another where he'd just printed the subtitles/plot from one of his computer games. Up to then, his techno-thrillers had been well thought out and imaginative.
Same with PD James and a few other formulaic writers. I'm usually quite bullish with books, and once I start I refuse to give up- no matter how bad it is or how long it takes. These days, though, I can't afford the time.
