Please, don't think I am being sarcastic or judgmental. If reading novels was my absolute highest priority, I could make time for it, and in fact I have at many times, such as for the EN World Book Club. I have a wife and 3 young sons. My average weekday begins at 6 a.m., when I get up to shower and get ready for work. I then wake my 6-year-old son and get him on the path the getting ready for school, wake my wife and head off to work. On most days, I am home about 5:30. Family stuff, including dinner at the table without television, interactions with the kids, baths and story time, usually take us past 8:00. The wife and I watch a select few television shows, which are usually taped from a few days before. Some nights there is no tv.., some we watch an hour or two, and that does not include movies. The rest of my evening is free for reading, but this is not all novels, as it includes gaming material, the newspaper, EN World, and also planning for DMing. I'm usually asleep by 11:00.Weekends I sometimes get more reading done, but also have school projects with the kids, extracurricular activities, home and yard chores, gaming, church, and other social activities with friends and extended family.I still manage to read novels, but not as much as I used to. I'm not complaining, that is just the place am I in right now. It seems like every time I finish one book I add two to my to-read list. Based on a quick count off the top of my head, I've read about a dozen novels over the past year, plus numerous short stories.</blockquote>
