I should read more

As a child, I almost always had my nose in a book. I just really liked reading.

I'd say this started to peter out sometime in high school. Things got busier, I got occupied with other things. In spite of this, I'd say that I identify as someone who loves to read. Which I am thinking is a bit odd, seeing as I haven't really done any prolonged reading for about fifteen years. I mean, I still do read the occasional book, but I think I probably average.. 5 books a year maybe?

I have friends who always have a book on the go. They read a chapter a night before bed. This is not how I read. I start and finish 95% of the books I read within 48 hrs. I stay up late, I read while eating, I read while walking, I read while I'm on the bus. I'm really a binge reader.

I think I'd like to cultivate some healthier reading habits. It'd allow me to read more consistently, for one thing. I also want to get back into reading. I've been noting books I 'should' read for ages and ages, and I ought to just start reading them.
