I read about 40 books a year[1]. The main way I do this is not alienating my friends but by not watching TV. I have started watching DVDs and Netflix instant stream recently and this has cut into my reading time. I do recommend requesting books at your library. It is awesome, like Netflix for books. I would like to try blocking my favorite websites. I don't know if I would read more, but I certainly would work more. [1] I have kept track of this since 2006, inspired by Kevin Drum.
