Not at much as I'd like anymore. Used to devour several books per month. Could read 1000-1500pp a day easy when I had time. Did manage to knock over 2 novels and one non-fiction inside of a week between Christmas/New year which isn't bad considering everyone was on holidays (try reading a lot when the kids are home!).

Worst for me is that I usually don't get to read until bedtime...and I find myself dropping off, book in hand, jolting awake, re-reading the same stuff over and then repeating the cycle...doesn't make for enjoyable reading that's for sure. Read a lot online - newspapers, journals etc daily. But it's not the same as a great book!

Getting a lot of pleasure watching Miss Charlotte (12) rip through books. She keeps her Mummy poor - I buy her books probably 5:1 ratio to me. She will read for hours and we have to argue about "lights out, no more reading - the book will be there tomorrow for you" every night. That's a nice argument to be having .
