Same here. Sadly that's not really going to help making a living. At times it was reading too. I was also addicted to endurance sports/activities, believe it or not. Which is not the worst thing i have to say. It's not necessarily destructive or expensive, but i takes a lot of time (and calories).
me too man, me too (except for the doing the opposite bit unfortunately, but am looking to start that very soon!)
Who do read normally? Knowing what you like will make it easier to make good recommendations. How new are looking for; just something new to you or something that has been recently released? Almost forgot to ask, do you prefer hard sci-fi or sci-fi thrillers?
I read Shantaram years ago. It was a rollicking read. Unfortunately after it became popular in Australia quite a few reviewers and other people went out of their way to demonstrate how much of it was likely bullshit. Still a great book though, even if he embellished his life story a bit.
