I just found it. I'll weigh in on the (heavily-weighted) No TV in the Bedroom side. I don't even have cable but am addicted to Netflix, so the hulking black screen and little red envelopes would definitely be a temptation. I read every night, but sometimes I pick easy to read, less than literary works (mysteries, mostly). But. I just got a copy of Russell Bank's Continental Drift and plan to dig into that tonight. Woohoo! What a great blog! I just found it.

Thank god I have a long train ride to and from work, or I might never have time for reading at all.

In the bedtime hours we read while listening to NPR quietly in the background. As I get older (I'll be 48 next month) I find that I watch less and less television while the stack of books waiting to be read increases.

The rule for me is to place it where I cannot use it as background. As well, having the television in the bedroom might threaten more than just your reading habits. (And yes, I always read before sleeping). I’ve always kept the television not only out of the bedroom but out of the main living area.

My parents inculcated and encouraged a love of reading in me at a very young age, and it's something I've done almost continuously for about twenty years.
