Have you ever felt that your book reading has decreased because of internet?

My book reading HAS decreased because of the internet, so has my writing. I am very disappointed with myself and have to re-discipline myself to put other things first. I have been reading more lately, making more of an effort. I'm a little hungry for it right now. Now if I can just get as hungry with my writing. I do have a couple of articles in the wind, but I really want to finish editing my novel and get it "out there".

Me too, reading is my hobby. I would normally finish a book in two days time. Now I hardly finish a book in a week. I became more incline in using my pc and surfing the net for the past weeks that I have only lesser time to read a book. I only notice that I haven’t read a book for the past days when I came across of your post. I am now finding more time to read a book and trying not to be with my pc when I don’t have to. It is hard not to use a pc in a day. I think I’m a little addicted in surfing the net and mylot, but for the sake of reading a good book I will have to take a break using a pc.

I love to read books, and honestly I don't think my book reading hasn't decreased at all because of the internet. I love to go outside in the summer, sit on the porch and read a great book. In the winter I love to curl up under and blanket and snuggle with my boyfriend while we both read a good book.

It is but natural that when you have started a new interest and you are putting much time to the new interest and devotion to your earlier interest will decrease. An other factor is that you have a plenty of reading material at internet so your activity to read books decrease.

My reading has gone down, there are only so many hours in the day after all. But I now read one book where before I would have 3 going at the same time.

When iwas in college i read books most of the times specially school books. So bored sometimes, i only used internet before to make further research. But now that i am graduated from college i lost my interest in reading books, instead i spend most of the times in front of pc or in front of tv. happy posting.
