But also books, ebooks, audio books.</p>\n<p>And I’m guilty of it. I am afraid that I read far too many books on any given week.</p>\n<p>My fear is this – I read these books – but am I actually appreciating them? Absorbing, reveling in them as much as I should be? I have a sneaky suspicion that if I actually slow down, I will relish the books more. And get more out of each book.</p>\n<p>And so I tried to limit myself to just two books a month. And I went into book starvation mode. I lasted one week, and I was back reading a lot.</p>\n<p>So maybe, my limit should be two books a week? What is a good limit? Should it be a strict schedule of reading? Should I limit the genre of books I read as well?</p>\n<p>What I am looking for is some kind of a book-diet. Something which will help me read a little slower and maybe appreciate these books some more. Does anything like his exist? Do you reader know of any such ‘diet’ available to help readers with a binge-reading problem?</p>","frontmatter":{"title":"Binge Reading","date":"October 15, 2014","url":"/binge-reading/","tags":["Books","Thoughts"]}}},"pageContext":{"slug":"/binge-reading/","previous":{"fields":{"slug":"/2014-10-13-mild-acts-of-kindness-200-words-project/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"Mild acts of kindness – 200 words project","url":"/mild-acts-of-kindness-200-words-project/","tags":["200-words-project"]}},"next":{"fields":{"slug":"/2014-10-20-how-to-reinvent-yourself/"},"frontmatter":{"title":"How to reinvent yourself – 200 words project","url":"/how-to-reinvent-yourself/","tags":["200-words-project"]}}}},"staticQueryHashes":["3128451518","426816048"]}
