A Post I Made on Another Blog

I have edited it some here due to the change in posting location:
I just found a blog that I posted a comment on and it has provoked me. The topic was, Are you what you read? I have been an avid reader all my life. I was born into a home full of books and have maintained that myself. In recent years I've added audiobooks and ebooks to the ranks, but still I read. Last year I read 146 books (according to my tracker on www.shelfari.com). That's an average of 1 book every 2.5 days. This year I don't know that I'll get the opportunity to read that many. I do know that I'm going to work toward better multitasking. I plan to move more of my reading to the cardio machines. Maybe I can take the audiobooks on my Zune to the weight machines with me. Workouts are such a solitary thing, much like reading. And I tend to always find reasons not to do the workouts and end up laying around reading instead. Why not combine them?
