<![CDATA[Since high school, I stopped devouring books.]]>Since high school, I stopped devouring books. I used to be a voracious reader as a kid. I was a humanities major and later a lawyer, reading so much for work that I didn't want to do it for fun. I'm proud to say I'm now a reader again! Loving this page turner thingamabob!

With one of those other things that holds the reader over the bed, I can turn pages and my arms stay under the covers.

I read a very small handful of novels (and somehow LotR) but never developed a habit.

I didn't actually start reading for enjoyment until I got an e-reader. I wanted one just because I thought e-ink tech was *so cool* but it got me to try novels again. Add to that a few speed reading techniques and it finally stuck.
