Google Reader- NoISE Floor Goes UP!

Well I subscribed to Awful Library books, NPR Music and Arts-Music the New York Times as RSS feeds . But I have had little time to catch up on the stories that funnel their way into my reader. Too busy, Moving Snow Hauling firewood in and hauling ash out. It's a little too much in reality .It's more like a email box that just keeps filling up. So while I can see the great benefit of a RSS subscription. I'm wondering who has the time to read all the stuff that comes to them? The NOISE level just seems to get louder.
