Do you feel guilty when you read fiction some times? Do you feel like it's a frivolous pursuit? Sometimes, I do, because I'd think to myself "might as well watch a TV show", and I hardly ever watch TV shows because, to me, they're a waste of time. But damn it, some of these novels are so good and I can't stop once I started reading them.

Waste of time for what goal? Don't you ever do things just because you enjoy them? Is it a waste of time to pet a dog or watch a sunset if you enjoy it?

Believe it or not, yes, I do, but not that much. So, you're right. That would be (I don't know the right word) hypocrite of me to discriminate against reading only.
