I used to be a really voracious reader as a kid and into early adulthood, but that has really dropped off.
I hear you. I suppose it's natural that with the demands of adulthood comes a corresponding drop in the energy we have to devote to reading. But even so, I miss being the kind of reader who just inhaled books. And not just books that fit my known preferences but any kinds of books. I used to read so much more widely as a teenager than I do now.
