I've found my attention span destroyed now. I don't read much any more at all, it's kinda sad.

I think it's also because I work from home and a commute used to isolate me and I'd be forced to read.

lmao no, I hate driving ... always the bus, train or subway. I can barely text and walk let alone text and drive.
