I know where you're coming from. I have almost completely stopped reading since University where I was a History/English student. And I was exposed to so many good books there, books that I would like to actually pick up again and read (many for the first time) like Under The Volcano, and Dubliners, and The Secret Agent, for example. I think I'm more into non-fiction these days, which comes mostly in the form of short books or magazine articles, but even still, I feel emptier because I'm not reading as much as I know I should. I do sometimes feel burdened too, because there are soooo many books out there, and when I read as rarely as I do, I always feel that I have to be very picky and selective about the book I choose. I feel like I don't want to 'waste' my pick, by picking something I don't like and /or finish.
Now you've got me all flustered about not reading enough... And I"m a teacher too, so I feel the need to stay informed in all genres of literature...
