I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month, and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every day I tell myself that reading newspapers is a waste of time, but then... I cannot do without them. They are like a drug.
A good newspaper is never nearly good enough but a lousy newspaper is a joy forever.
Unfortunately, I don't get to read nearly as much as I want because I'm always working on my own stuff, either the novels or newspaper columns.
I don't really read a lot of newspapers. I don't pay attention to what is being said or written about me. I've had lots of experiences in the past when I got too much into it. That sort of diverts your focus.
I did not read newspapers until I became a reporter.
I often feel newspapers are just filling up space. Of course, I also know people who write really long books.
I don't read newspapers, and I've said I don't watch the news. I love books, but I don't read much. What I do is I get people to read to me, and I put the stories in my head.
I read a lot of news online, but I like buying a paper because I'll read an article I wouldn't normally read. And more often than not, the articles that you don't expect to care about are the ones that grab you.
I admit that I am hopelessly hooked on the printed newspaper. I love turning the pages and the serendipity of stumbling across a piece of irresistible information or a photograph that I wasn't necessarily intending to read.
I am glad I worked on a newspaper because it made me know I had to write whether I felt like it or not.
