Inner Thoughts of a Binge-Reader

Inner Thoughts of a Binge-Reader

Does anyone else find themselves binge reading a lot more? 

Maybe it's because of the current pandemic and my sheer boredom but I find myself breezing through books lately. And I love and hate it altogether. I love it because I actually have the time to consume a good book and not wait to finish it when I have time. But I hate it because I finish the damn book in a few hours and then it's gone! Poof! It's so frustrating and great all at the same time. 

I remember when I was little I would sit for hours trying to finish a book as quickly as I can just so I can know what happens to the character. Checking book after book in my elementary school library just so I can fill my head with new characters and plots. 

In this modern-day with so many shows and series at our fingertips and we binge through them in days or hours but most people aren't reading through books. What is so different from a good book to a good show? Do people lack the imagination to create your own characters in your head? Are we lazy now? 

Do you love binge-reading or do you love taking your time and enjoy each page? 

Thanks for taking the time
