Once upon a time, I would average three hours of reading before bed each weeknight; weekends were even better–four to eight hours of solid reading if my schedule was clear.  And then, along came the internet and blogging.  My reading time diminished as I heeded the siren song of the internet; I never looked back.

No one has a gun to my head forcing me to idle away hours on blogs and other sites, but after all these years I wonder just how much book reading time I’ve lost.  Oh, the irony.  I mean, here I am blogging about books but have barely any time to read them!

Am I the only book blogger who feels this way? (I need some validation, please.)

I attempted to make a crafty pie chart in Excel to illustrate my point but was forced to use Paint because I’m a doofus and couldn’t figure out Excel.

Behold!  My life pre- and post- internet and blogging as represented by  slightly tongue-in-cheek pie charts.

And with the advent of the internet and book blogging?
