so how much media do YOU consume? - Goatweed - 12-15-2006
there's a study out that claims Americans on average will or currently do spend about 10 hours a day consuming media via TV, internet books & magazines. I suppose I fit that mold easily from Monday to Friday at least, since I'm tethered to a PC for most of the day and do some tv/internet at night. I don't do much in the way of magazines tho, since most times the news is outdated my weeks courtesy of the intarweb.

I bet I can do 10 hours of media entertainment in a day but not every day. I spend time on the internet while at work and at home. And usually watch some TV at night. Okay, yeah maybe every day.

i don't watch much TV...except for UFC, some hockey, and LOST.
Internet is where i procure a lot of info.
I read voraciously on my commute. I found 1776, which won last years Pulitzer...kind of dry and boring. I tend to like fiction more than nonfiction/biography...but depends on my mood. Wildfire by Nelson Demille was my last fiction read. Flawed, but good.

I love biographies and non-fiction, I havent had time to read lately though. I watch maybe an hour or 2 of tv a day, if that. My days are usually packed and will be even more so when I start school in jan, so i'll get me read on then.

Quote:I love biographies and non-fiction............I'm a non-fiction fan, too. Fiction really has to suck me in for it to capture my attention.
I do read alot of books. I must have sent one of the CEO of Amazon.com's kids to college by now.
The news I get here on the internet or CNN or MSNBC (and as long as Bush isn't talking it's all good with me).
The only mags I get are National Geographic and a few dog training magazines.

I refuse to read books unless I get paid for it. Within the last month I downloaded PDF's of the Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons and read while it appeared I was really working. Right before I got myself fired from a job a couple of years ago I read Moneyball and a few Dean Koontz books. And the first ever job I had was a 5-6 week summer job where I read 7 or 8 Koontz books.

I like books. Reading a book on the internet or the computer just isn't the same for me.

I only read hardcover books, I cant do paperback the fonts are way too small to read - especially if its a large book.

I'm near-sighted so I dont need glasses to read, but a book like The Stand, for example, in paperback has the tiniest fonts ever and after a while I get a headache.
Plus hardcovers look better on the shelf.
oh, and thank you BA <3

i used to do hardcovers also when i primarily read at home. but these days, I read on the train, and hardcovers make my bag too heavy. I was thrilled today when I could finally read Thomas Pynchon Gravity's Rainbow, just rereleased in a smaller paperback size.
