It should not, at this point, be a revelation to me that I like to read. I *was* surprised this month, though, at how strong my drive to read actually is. I decided to ban internet reading for myself at home from January-March of this year, on the thought that this would free up some time to study for my annual in-service exam. This plan completely backfired. While I did use *some* of the extra time for studying, I also started flipping through the pile of hard copy books I had on backlog, in spite of myself -- books which were substantially longer than most of my internet reading, and also more prone to keeping me up at night engaged with the story. In the end, I found I'd just swapped one kind of reading for another, and probably lost out on extra sleep hours in the process. Whoops.
On the upside, it was loads more fun than 3000 ophthalmology questions.
For my reference, lists from 2007 (59), 2008 (67), 2009 (67), 2010 (40), 2011 (34), 2012 (48), 2013 (43), 2014 (32), 2015 (5), and 2016(10)
