I know what you mean. Clicking on a book doesn't do much for me, either. I've read a lot fewer of them since I got my hands on this laptop. For what it's worth, I find that books and chapters published online are much harder to work through than printed texts. Highlighting helps keep me focused, but that's not working out too well with the computer screen. Yeah, Dan. I know what you mean. Clicking on a book doesn’t do much for me, either.

But I digress, I am easily distracted, the endless stream of twitter, rss & facebook, combined with those icons that will fire up a quick game mean I am finding myself increasingly having to have a stern word with myself to get the duller jobs done. The book looks interesting, might have to give it a read sometime. Although I have noticed that reading books has happened a lot less in my life since I can check twitter and my rss feed in bed from my iPhone! Hmm, I'm not one for resolutions, but some will power might be needed this year! I have cats, occasionally boxes of poop too – you get used to it!

I'd like to come back to that subject soon, because when I was writing this I ran across some things that I'd like to explore, if I don't get distracted. For the record, I don't hate cats. Just for the record. Thanks, teacherninja, for the ADD pointers.

I've always found it interesting if someone has a cat they also have a box of s*%t somewhere in their house and that is a little creepy when you think about it. Great post. Sounds like a great book and I'll pick it up. Seems similar to the chapter in John Medina's "Brain Rules" about multi-tasking. Cats?
