Number 11 is a big deal with me, unfortunately. Try as I might I can’t keep my eyes open to read for more than 30 minutes.

Well ... that's still 30 minutes of reading time.  Sometimes I can't stay awake either and other times I read for hours.

As a kid I remember putting a blanket down under a tree and reading for a long time; finishing several books a week.

The last book that I read in less than 2 days was Ted Cruz "A Time For Truth".

I normally on average only read a book or two a month.
