Damian and I are both trying really hard to watch less television, and as a result, I have read a lot of books recently, like
a lot of books. I don't think you understand how far this has gone. I can't stop reading. I am developing a twitch from moving my head back and forth as I turn pages. I am inhaling books like I just ran ten miles and am gulping for air, and the books are the air. (Apparently all this reading has done little for my skills at writing metaphors and similes.) Anyway, if you are up for the challenge, I highly recommend taking a break from television. You might be amazed at how you start spending your free time.
I love reading sprees and I'm notorious for them. I'm either reading all of the books or watching all of the TV because balance would be the smart thing. ;)

Eric and I are trying to do the same! We still watch a little TV, but some nights we watch none, and just read instead. I am loving it, too. It does much more for relaxing me than TV.
ReplyDeleteAh, reading! Before I married my husband we decided to skip out on paying for cable. It's been a few years and I honestly don't miss it at all. There's just so much to read and so little time!
ReplyDeleteI really need to read more too, watching crap on tv just isn't good enough! Go you :D xx
