 Effects of Massive Fiction Reading
For about the past week, I've been reading a fantasy trilogy, as it numbers near 2000 pages, and enjoyment reading varies different than information reading, I've spent many an hour at this.
I've notice interesting side effects. One, I notice I don't sleep as long, as I'd rather be reading, moving towards the conclusion or what happens next. Also, I feel more conscious than I have in previous weeks when my main source of entertainment was various forms of TV or games. Time still flows as though I'm doing either of those things, but my awareness seems more keen. Also, I feel more centered, most notably when I stand.
In ways this also shows some of my strengths in having an obsession and keeping to a task till its done. Yet, I wonder why I haven't been able to transfer that to other areas of my life.
