Yes, I read archives, although not necessarily straightaway. If I read your archives it means I'm with your blog for the long haul, and won't stop reading unless you stop writing.
When I started reading Neil Gaiman's blog a year ago, he'd already been writing it for nearly four years. So yes, that was a monster task. However, at the time I had a job which didn't give me nearly enough to do (I was mostly there to answer the phone) so I needed something to stop me from going to sleep.
If I don't read the archives, I tend to find I have to type words like "liposuction" and "death" into people's search boxes to find out what previously-blogged-about major life-event they're delicately referring to now, and given that they can probably see what people are searching for, I really don't want to worry them.
It's addictive, though. I can't just read five entries and leave it at that, so if I start I'd better not have anything I need to do for the next few hours.
