It must be nice to only work with highly abstracted data types. You clearly don't do any bit bashing, unlike many of us (it is not restricted to low-level programming). I do it fairly often in my code, so maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I perpetually read online (on any given day I read at least a couple hundred pages worth of text), but I haven't read a complete book (that is, more than a chapter here and there, or for reference, and excluding manuals/magazines/etc since I seldom read all of them) in at least 8 years (when I was in school and had required reading). I read some short stories 3 or 4 years ago from a couple compilations when I was bored at the house of someone that maintained a small personal library, but that was mainly because I didn't have a computer. I couldn't say with absolute certainty whether or not I've read a book in digital form in that time, because it wouldn't register as a book in my mind. Curiouser-still: I don't own a TV, which seems to amaze people more than the lack of books.
