Dave,
I'm an avid reader, but DAMN, I'm impressed.
I dont have cable. That helps.
I've been going for my MBA for about 3 years now, so my non-textbook reading has sadly declined. I'll pick it back up after I get the degree...
I love non-fiction, but I've never been able to burn through it the way I can a good piece of fiction. Assuming I can stay awake, even.
The linked non-fiction books kept me awake, though.
