Hi Don, I think those people don't do anything else besides read. I tend to read a bit if I don't watch any TV however I loose the time again when I watch the TV I have recorded while I was reading. Now I am back to work one and a half days a week I have even less time to read. I could probably get up to the record amount if I don't sleep but I like my sleep so I think I will stick with it. Speaking of sleep I better go and get ready for bed, I have my monthly book group tomorrow and I haven't finished the book we will be discussing yet.
