<p>53 feeds. 0 unread. I usually just skim titles, but I try to empty out feed counts on a daily basis. Some feeds I don’t even bother with and just mark the whole thing as read. If there’s something interesting and I don’t have time I might star it or e-mail it to myself. I’ve got a hefty stack of things to read during off times. Every semester, for example, I start a “Things to Read in May/December” folder, which I rarely get to even during the break. Sometimes I print them out and leave them on my desk if I think it’s something I’ll eventually really need to read.</p>
<p>But yeah, when I’m not out with friends, or not at school/work, I am reading. In place of APIs it’s practice manuals for courts, or caselaw, or federal/state regulations. At home it’s random things on the net, typically technology or law related. When I have long drives, I like to listen to books from my iPod. Once a week or so I will watch a basketball game, or an episode of Law & Order. If I can, I go to the gym or go for a run a few times a week. There’s much less sitting around talking until 4 or 5 like we used to do in South C-shire. Reading has pretty much become it for me.</p>

<p>Hey Grant! You rock. Read on!</p>
<p>I mostly read journals and textbooks. But I wouldn’t suggest those to anyone. For fun, you should read “Peppermints in the Parlor.” Its a juvenile fiction about an orphan who goes to live in a creepy mansion full of sad old people and forbidden peppermints, all of which are shrouded in mystery. But it has the most delightful ending.</p>

<p>oh fun an interactive post!
i mostly just listen to books as its easier than carying the thing around. i just finished hot, flat, and crowded by thomas friedman and the world without us by i forget who. both were full of lots of good random facts but they were pretty long winded. i had to set the ipod to fast speed.
i also finally finished pimsleur japanese 1 and am a few lessons into japanese 2.
also my feed list only has 15 subscriptions with 32 unread. i enjoyed marking every one of your posts read the other day when the feed screwed up.</p>
