Why the Internet Won't Kill Reading

The internet is a terrible distraction for me. I'm not into online gaming, shopping, or porn, so what's the problem?

Reading.

Why, just last week, when I could've been reading War and Peace, I was wasting/investing my time elsewhere, learning about dogs getting MRIs (don't worry, they pawed consent forms) and what to do with an avocado pit. I also got a little civics lesson from California (good news!) and a hopeful but admittedly speculative look into Iranian politics, courtesy of Fareed Zakaria.

With so many delightful reading distractions it's no wonder it can take 10+ hours just to answer the day's email.

What about you? What have you been reading lately? Actual books on your nightstand, a Kindle or iPad, or countless articles as you surf the web?

Whatever it is, if you want to blog about it, I'm very open to guest posts. You know, having you write this blog gives me more time to read online :D
