Does anyone get caught up in reading as a distraction to what's going on in thier life. I have so many books to read both on kindle and paper back. I got to let go as it is only a temporary relief and prolongs things. Could make I big donations to local library

Never heard it cuts 10 years off your life. Never thought I would make 50. And I agree sometimes seems like a good deal. Day to day struggle

Don't know what I would replace reading with hopefully something positive
