No matter how many tweets you "read", or how many total characters, they are all chopped up, as is your thinking. I'm finding that I no longer have the concentration I once did (well, some of that is age-related . . . ) and that it takes me longer to get "into" a book. I don't read as many as I would like, and as I used to, and that's directly related to 1) having a macbook with wireless access to troll blogs and ebay and 2) too much MSNBC at night.
