I really feel bad. And this is embarassing, because I'm going to sound arrogant.

How on earth can people feel proud of only reading a book a week, or less, even? I can read a book just going to class, and another coming home. It's a sad week when I don't manage to read even one book. High school, I would take out six books from the library at once, return all six within two days. That's not counting the books they gave me, and the ones I read while in the library during lunch. Is it normal to read so little? Is it that people read slowly, or that they have other things to do? I don't get it.

I feel weird now. Like the freak here.

Well, I did tell you not to click. Don't blame me.

I read voraciously from early childhood, but once I hit upper-school and started reading books I didn't like because I had to, my reading habits changed drastically. These days the number of books I get through fluctuates. If I spent less time online, no doubt I'd read more.

I'll second what you said and said better than I could have. I live in fear that my reading habits won't go back to the way they were before I hit college/grad school after graduation.
