Im sure some can make it work. I probably could except when I am home im trying to relax and I read but not novels. Usually news and opinion pieces. I have to be in the right mindset to want to read, and I cant get in that mindset when Im working regularly. Im sure that Im not the only one there.
Back in the day it was considered a luxury specifically because of this. And with the economy in the shitter I bet that plays a big role, and men work more than women so there you go I answered what apparently NYTimes couldnt.
