re: How often do you read?

Before the Internet came along, I read books and magazines constantly. I’m reading as much as I ever have, but now it’s things like Wikipedia pages and website articles. So I’ve made a point to set two periods a day to read printed books again.

Yeah, I'm with you. Reading is reading. Reading someone's well thought out post on TD is better than reading garbage somehow published fan fiction. Just because it's on a forum or an online publication, even a blog or a well structured journal, it's still reading.
I read a few chapters of a book most nights, but I'm not going to pretend that's all I read. I'm constantly reading throughout the day, whether it's shitposts on here or a published biography, it's reading. Certainly, there is a scale, but I don't see this same discrimination with screens. Watching youtube vs watching shows vs watching movies vs scrolling your IG feed is all lumped together as screen time.
If I'm on reddit and I only browse sub reddits with text posts and infrequent images, why is that not considered reading?

read a book every night before I go to sleep. Usually about 30 minutes then my eyelids start sagging.

I usually knock out 5-10 books a year. Before my kids got into sports at the school level I read a lot more. Hoping this summer to spend more time doing it.
I usually try to cycle through fiction. Non-fiction, theology, but I tend to really slow down on theology books. Just a chore to get through for me.

I just finished the Tiger Woods bio by Jeff Benedict three days ago. The HBO documentary doesn’t do the Cat justice, but, if you’re introducing him to someone who knows next to nothing about the man, the doc does a good job of giving insight. I should also add that Benedict’s Tiger bio was the inspiration for the HBO doc.
Cracked open Lonesome Dove the day after. To quote Augustus McCrae, “‘I God,” the four-part television series was excellent and my favorite bit of western cinema/TV, but, let me say, the novel is wholly captivating, and I’m just over 200 pages in.
