The list is getting shorter and shorter, I am well aware. In my defence, it's not that I'm not reading books, I'm reading lots, just not books - mostly articles and news reports, for purposes of writing articles for work. 

One of my students casually remarked that he is lazy to read novels due to the amount of law related stuff that he has to read on a daily basis. I cannot disagree. After all the reading of non-book stuff, all you want to do sometimes is to 'cleanse' your eyes of words and do something totally different like watching nonsense stuff on tv. 

It sometimes helps the eyes. Not to mention, the MIND. Sometimes nonsense is all the mind needs.
