I tend to blame it on lack of social life, but it's the combination of lots of vacation time & the fact that I'd rather read than watch tv (and living alone helps, less distractions). And I read on my lunch hours at work, and really, any other time I have a spare minute. I've been advised that makes me anti-social. Apparently spending time with characters in books doesn't count as socializing. lol
