Thank you for addressing this "lull"! I need advice, thoughts. My latest hypothesis is that fun fiction might act as, um, viagra to help me find the reading mojo for the nonfiction books I'm inexplicably no longer, um, getting through. Charles Stross's novels, for example. Adding to the too-long to-read list in order to eventually shorten the to-read list.

I want to ask adults d'un certain âge WHEN they read as well. Does it only work if you're an insomniac? What kind of deal do you have with your spouse? Do you combine reading with the gym/lunch/commute/?.
