I was in exactly that state until about a year ago. I have discovered how to find time.

A year ago my wife was registered blind (ARMD) and could no longer read for herself so I said I'd read to her. We fixed a time each day for the reading session - at breakfast. We get through 20 to 30 pages a day and so we read about two books a month. I am really enjoying reading books that have lain around the house for years as well as some new ones.

Now all I have to do is to fix another time each day to read to myself and I'll really be able to catch up with the backlog

But I'm still buying books, so that is doubtful!

That's great, Andrewson!!

My wife and I also read to each other, and though niether of us are blind, it's a wonderful thing to do together. We're currently reading "Harry Potter and the Order of the Pheonix" (we've been working our way through all the HP books.) When we're done with all the published books I think we're going to start on Tolkien, starting either with "The Silmarillion" or "The Hobbit".
