This week's question is: How many blogs do you follow?

At the moment, 63 (counting only the blogs I am officially "Following" through Google.) Which isn't that much, by some standards, but I think it's rather a lot. I don't follow indiscriminately. Every blog I am following is one that I really enjoy. Some of them I jump on each new post; a few I only click through to if I see a post that sounds interesting. If I like a blog enough, I'll keep it on my follow list even after months of not seeing any updates. If I find, though, that I haven't bothered to read any new posts for some time, then I'll probably go ahead and delete that blog. I have too little time as it is, and if I need to watch myself carefully so that I don't wind up spending all day reading new blog posts. There is just too much excellent writing out there and I can't read it all - not if I want to have a life, too.

Not that there isn't something to be said for being found, mummified, in front of my computer screen, having died while reading. There are worse ways to go? Oh, stop shaking your heads at me.
