One summer I gave up watching TV (or video of any sort) for the summer and read 36 books in 3 months. I don't have summers off, so this was just an arbitrary period. I don't know if it changed my brain, but I remember thinking much clearer and feeling much more engaged with life. But how long can you go before rewatching the Office or catching up on Game of Thrones? We're all only human.

This is one of my favorite parts of reading and plays an big role in my choice favorite authors and books. On the other hand watching TV or not doesn't seem to have this or any other noticeable affect on my thinking other than a bit of content (or not).
