I used to read more when I wasn't using computers as much. :) But with a faster computer, I can actually get things done faster.  Renders that took two hours a few years ago now take minutes which means that a book and I can go elsewhere when done.  Builds are so fast that I can't get up before they are done - even with sixty source files and five builds.  CodeWarrior on the other hand, with four builds, allows me time to stretch, make coffee, read 'War and Peace'.  It is aggretiously slow.  Xcode is much faster, but it stubbornly recompiles the API lib when switching projects (218 sources) which allows for coffee and stretch on ocassion.

I just try not to make that an excuse to do more on the computer - always difficult as we know.  Other than technical references, I like to read away from the computer.  If at the computer, usually with the monitor off for no distractions.  For instance, and not exactly difficult reading other than the UK slang, it was a quick day and a half to read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  With that, computer, what computer? :D

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
