Of course this is my 1st year of keeping track of how many books I read. I don’t think my reading habits have changed either. Of course this is my 1st year of keeping track of how many books I read.

It's probably mind-broadening?! And, please, don't say anything about the internet habit. I've been meaning to turn off the laptop for the past 2 hours. :P Lisa, I’ve read a lot of books I normally wouldn’t touch with a 10-foot pole simply because I was stuck in a place with no choice.

I read less than I did before (I used to average a book a week - http://www.turquoise.me.uk/reading - but now it's more like one a fortnight or so) but, apart from teh obligatory parenting books, I think the type of books is the same. I read Victoria Beckham's book before I had M! (Because somebody brought it to read on the plane when visiting us in Japan and left it behind ;) ) The only thing I find now is that I am really put off starting anything too long, whereas before I used to love a good thick novel. I just know it will be hanging about for months on end! It's not just the children, though - my internet habit has increased and increased and mopped up a lot of reading time. Plus, as you say, no train rides. Hmm.
